Bodog 100$ 40k. I have roughly 3.7k blinds are 75/150 118 left with 27 paying and my mindset at this point is to try and chip up and make a run at going deep. Villain has me covered roughly 4.2k he seems like a solid player and is not too active from what I have seen. Im 2 off the button and raise to 420, I have been raising once or twice an orbit and have'nt shown down anything but strong hands. Villain calls in small blind. flop

T76 rainbow I bet 750 villain calls turn 7, we both check. I have checked some strong hands behind at this table and then value bet the river with AA with a flush on board etc in past hands. River is a 9 he checks and I shove for roughly 2k.

Thoughts?

It's pretty hard for him to call here, but I can easily see him w/ A-T throu T-9. If you think he can lay these hands down (not T-9, obv) then I like the shove.

unless you are convinced he has A-10 or J-J or something like that and think he will fold i hate this play...if he happened to call off with big cards there is no reason to bet, and other than those hands i listed he won't be folding a better hand that he could have called the flop with

i check down. you are only called by hands that beat you.

Lol

based on what I had seen this player do and the way he played the hand I thought he could be calling down with overcards or that he had some small pair with a weak ten at the very top of his range. I shoved thinking that he did'nt have enough of a hand to call and would'nt want to risk 90% of his stack. I think I made a mistake by pushing I think a bet here of 1.2 k has a better shot at working as it looks more likely that I could have an 8 or some other hand that beats his range, and if I am called I still am alive and I don't mind playing the short stack. My push really looked like what it was me trying to run a big bluff that he couldnt call in a hand that he did'nt show in strength and I guess this guy had the balls to call off here.

He took forever and ended up calling with 55. It was a good call I guess I thought my play was ok as I was willing to take some risks to chip up but I should have maybe made a smaller bet that looks a little more dangerous I don't know but up to that point I had'nt shoved any hands and had been more active then most of the players at the table.

This isn't applicable here as he is trying to fold better hands.

He isn't betting for value.

I probably check behind on the river. There's a small chance that we're winning the pot with a check, and IMO checking behind on the turn and then shoving behind on the river smells very bluffy. If you want to take this pot away with an all-in bluff, I would do it on the turn.

Mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Unless my math is off, I think he's getting like over 2-1 on the call? The fact that an 8 is very rarely in your range here, and you obv don't have a 7, I think you get looked up by a strong ten here too often for this to be profitable. I think I check behind and grind the ole shortstack.
