Hi, i've been involved in quite an interesting pot playing live, and was wondering if there was any other way i could have played it.

Firstly, myself and the villain have some history. We get on great, but our styles are both similar in that we're both prepared to bet/raise with air and take people/eachother off big hands. An example of this is last week (blinds $1/$1...Mine and villains stacks are deep at about $700 each) when i had AA on the button. It's been straddled, with 2 callers. I make it $12 to go. Villain calls in BB, 2 others call. Flop is 67T rainbow. All check to me. I fire $30. Villain calls. turn is a 2. Villain fires $60. i raise to $160 total. Villain re-raises over the top all in. I fold. (i think i played this hand fine)

Anyway, the hand i'm talking about is this. Blinds are the same. I have a stack of $90. Villain's stack covers mine. I limp in MP with 4h5h. 2 more limpers. Villain checks in SB. Flop comes 2h6hAc. I bet $5 (or something similar) It folds to Villain who c-raises to $15. I play back at him and raise it up $32 more over the top. Villain calls. Turn is 8d. Villain pushes. I feel i'm committed and i call.

Thoughts?

This is a simple math problem.

If he's got a set you're a 70-30 dog.

If I read correctly, you have $50 of your $90 stack in the pot already. Calling $40 to win almost $150 makes this a profitable call with a flush draw and double gutshot.

Unless villan has a higher flush draw. Then your pretty screwed

Yeah, but the good news is we're cleaning hearts out of the deck with our own hand and we still have several outs to the straight, not counting pairs if his flush draw is naked.

So my flop aggression is fine?

FYI, he had 62 and his hand held up...not that it matters much.
