FTR Converter didn't work for Full Tilt, sorry..

Villain is an okay player, but nothing exciting, Hero thinks he's got a sizeable edge--and he's probably right. Hero's got a fairly TAG/straightforward table image and villain is beginning to play a lot of pots with big stack.

This is where I think the hero made a mistake. I think if we're going to play this pot, we should re-raise the flop and get as much in now as possible. A blanked turn and we're hating ourselves, no?

The villain could be playing a hand like QJXX KTXX, and set or even a hand like T9XX. He's pretty unpredictable but leaning on the donk-side.

Anyone disagree with re-raising here?

Villain 14 bets $52
Hero raises to $120.30, and is all in

This is where I thought it got really bad..We've got AKT with no real other draws on a board with now two hearts where we could very well be walking into a set. Aside from that, Hero's only getting 2-1 to call with his 8 outs. I think it's a pretty obvious fold, no?

If we're going to play it, we have to push, I think, but, I really don't think he's donktastic enough that he folds for ~68, getting almost 4-1 on his call to our push.

The hero disagreed with me on just about every point of this, and I'm curious what you all think..let me know.

Actually it highly depends on your style.

There are two ways to play this hand;

1)We pot and re-pot flop trying to fold any two pairs or draws and counting on our 12 outs.

2)We see a cheap turn and fold UI.

I don't think any of these plays are wrong.

I thought the ideal line was to check/call the flop, fold to a potbet on a bricked turn, myself, but, I understand your point.

I think the hero covered the main points pretty well. If you do re-raise on the flop, then he re-raise's what then. The semi-bluff aspect has been negated by his agression, you're gonna have to make your hand. And your still gonna hate a blanked turn.

Definite fold on the turn. You would want the pot to offer about 4.5/1 to make this a winning play.

I like a raise on this flop here, it is not a scary board, you are most likely only going to get re-raised by top set, or middle set...so by re-raising the flop, you are essentially giving yourself a huge hand to hit on the turn, or a free card on the turn when your opponent most likely checks the turn if he does not fill up or make his straight. If you get re-raised a gain, i think you can dump it?

I don't like putting the money in on the turn there. At these levels, I think check raises typically mean something strong. I don't see a lot of check raises unless it's people protecting sets on draw heavy boards.

On the flop, we're looking at about 12 out without considering a backdoor flush draw.

At that point, if all the 12 outs are clean, and with raising preflop, if we re-raise, we've got some fold equity, but with two other players to the flop, I've got to think at least 3-4 of our outs are dead.

At best, we're 48%, so if we want our money in with a coin flip, I re-pot the flop, and get the money in.

Once we call and whiff on the turn, and the villain bets out heavy, I think we're done. We're likely drawing 25% at the very very best, and I don't think there's enough fold equity in our push to get the villain out of the pot, after he's made two shows of strengh, and we might even be looking at a split pot if one of our outs come.

I think we can find way better places to get our money in than on this turn.
