FlopTurnRiver.com64 player heads up tourney. Down to the final 8 so level of play has picked up.
Villian has been playing pretty solid as far as I can tell. Min raising every button or folding. This is still in our first level and probably played less than 30 hands.

wow! great and horrible turn for you. at first glance i would say yah, i mean do you think villain pays off with what exactly? K10,q10,j10, 57, AKo,AQo,AJo? That is all you beat on this board. A few hands but do they go broke on a flopped flush draw hitting, not really BB reraise on that turn spells death for us imo. Calling, folding and shoving all kind of suck imo so i would fold turn or shove second best option, calling being the worst play. Calling button with this hand is kind of marginal imo so idk. Shoving isn't the worst option, but i don't think it is the best. We are drawing almost dead to made flushes unless we happen to miracle fill out, Crushed by A10, and have to dodge a lot of over card rivers to have or 2 pair hold most of the time, not to even including sets that could be floating out there. Marginal fold or shove. I would have folded to the turn reraise and or depending on villain folded out flop.

We should be raising or folding pre-flop with the button. What was your plan if you got re-raised on the turn? As played, I'm probably shipping and expecting to see AK with the K of diamonds.

We both still have over 70BB's. I'm raising/folding once blinds get higher but is limping the button a bad play when we are both pretty deep?
I think my mid two pair is still beating a lot on the turn which is why I repopped it. Even if I am behind, I felt I had plenty of redraws going to the river.
Once villian makes it 460 on the turn, what kind of hand range can we give him?

The reason I like to raise/fold is to keep my opponent guessing whether I have AA or J10 suited. Also, we have position and raising gives us control in the hand.

Once villian makes it 460 on the turn, what kind of hand range can we give him?I think he has Ax with x being diamonds, but this could just as easily be a set or higher two pair. This is one of those situations where I would have to rely on how the villian had been playing prior to this hand. But, as you stated you felt you were ahead so shipping should be your play. IMO, we should never raise this turn without any doubt of shipping a re-raise. Raise-Fold seems very bad in this situation.
