but in these spots where I cannot be re-drawn by a flush or a better straight, I would want to keep my player in the hand to extract the most value.
I personally think my play on the turn was OK but bad call on the river with the paired board.
The majority say to shove over his reraise. Some want to do this to make him fold, a few for value in the hope he"ll call. Then there are several that tell you to shove his reraise but don"t say what their objective is - do they want him to call or fold? I think most want him to fold but who knows*. But why would we want him to fold? We are a huge favourite going to the River - >3:1 if he has a set and >9:1 if he has 2P. If we won"t take chances when we are such big favourites, when will we?
Against two, I"m raising the 600 to about 2600 in the hope of getting one caller. A reraise from him is better, as we can then shove with a realistic hope of being called.
In agreement with the reraise size as we then give villain1 [orignal raiser 2.5/1 ish] plus if called it sets up the pot size to get all our chips in.. [sets are 3.5to1 2pairs are 10.1to1 approx]
As played by showdown his reraise gives villains around 4to1 , not quite big enough to give sets incorrect odds but all other hands in villains ranges are drawing thin and mostly given the stack to blinds size , players tend to speculate or see what you are going to do on the next street lol lol [when the players in the pot have a lot of chips compared to the blinds and because they still have a lot of money behind they take fliers etc fold equity has less impact 75bb+ oooo i"ve got chips i can afford it

The sizing of turn bet is not only about getting calls but you would like to threaten as much of your opponent's stack as possible [leverage] on later streets..This helps when u bluff also [think about it] , so it helps bluffs and helps get big hands paid off when u have the goods..Sizing your bets in such way that they carry threat on villains entire stack if he continues is a good weapon in your arsenal to get good at...
As played by showdown the interesting part of the action that caught my eye was that his small reraise was perfect to try to induce a raise from the opponent but we should do this imho in order to build a larger pot so that when they 3bet brain fart we 4bet punish [never to flat] the pot size after villains 3bet is a good % of showdowns stack and it is more than worth to 4bet all in and not be overly concerned if villain folds imho..
fraac mentioned it in the thread earlier about 3betting pre which is a good option imo , why? , because we have the button thats why..When playing deep ish even at 100bbs the button is gold and should be defended by calling raises or reraising them, we come accustomed to defending our blinds when stacks become shallow but when deeper the button should be defended , discourage players on your right from stealing position imho...
meh thats where my opinion is at anyhows...
