Full Version: Holding The Nuts - Push Or Call With One To Act

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?

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

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.

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.
