Holding The Nuts - Push Or Call With One To Act


Recommended Posts

Fairly straight forward hand. Mini-raised pot and I flop the nuts. I make a 3/4 pot sized bet on the flop and everyone calls. Turn is somewhat of a blank as I can't see how it really helped anyone unless they were on a straight draw and picked up a flush draw.So the short stack pushes, next guy folds, and I'm left with a decision. The player behind me has me covered and it's basically a heads up. Do we call here and hope to keep the CO in the hand, or raise to isolate?PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)Hero ($46.25)SB ($67.70)BB ($49.20)UTG ($14.60)MP ($54.40)CO ($58.10)Preflop: Hero is Button with 8h.gif, 6s.gif.

i think i would smooth-call it here...the only hand he could possibly have on the flop is a straight draw of some sort, maybe with a pair...he's not going to call if we shove, but he may call if we just call here

Flop action is ****ed up.
Sorry about that, I fixed it. One of the players had [] in their screen name and it messed with the HH and took out my action. I raised to $3 on the flop and everyone called.

I would call here and take one off. There doesn't seem to be a way you're losing this hand unless he has a combo straight/flush draw that backdoors. If he has a set or two pair, he has played it strangely. Regardless, I'd imagine he shoves behind you on the turn.

you want everyones action in this hand. take forever and smooth call IMHO
That's precisely what I did. The opponent left to act chose to fold and I took down the flop against the shorty's flopped two pair.I figured this would be a good spot to keep the player behind me in it, but I wasn't 100% certain on this situation. Thanks for the replies.
