-- FYP

If you are going to play this hand, be deeper stacked, and play it in position. Or raise it UTG.

But of course, be deep stacked.

As played, it's an easy push, but you don't have near the fold equity you would if you had a bigger stack, not to mention you won't be making as much when you do hit.

Yea, I really should've been deeper to make this play.
However, i think that my position in this hand didn't turn out too badly at all.
Button was pretty LAG, and was constantly throwing in continuation bets. This means that after the SB checks, i can check knowing button will bet 90% of the time, i can see what the SB does and then act accordingly. Also I can make a play for the pot after there is and additional CB from the button in there.

SB on the other hand seemed pretty loose passive and I'd seen him show down some dirty hands. I didn't put him on a good hand just because he called... but obviously that doesn't mean he wont call me allin with whatever **** he has.

That's not a semi-bluff btw, that's generally going all-in with the better hand.

Semi bluff in the sense that you don't really want a call.
Against any made hand your about 50/50.

Sooo, to make my day even nicer....
Villain calls with Ac 10s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY!?!?
no pair no draw.

Hands like this make me angry.
