shozboy1:
Wonder how I played this? Thought I played it quite well, but as usual, would be useful getting other more experienced views. The other guy, I have no real read on. He"s folded to several raises from me in late position. I also 3 bet him on a dry flop afew hands earlier and he folded.

I"d have re popped him pre - but as anyone will tell you that"s just me  ;D

LongshanksED:
Re raise to 8-9k pre

As played I"d bet on the flop for info. Maybe 4k if I"m flat called or re raised then I"m worried. I certainly woulnt jam it all on the turn.  

Marty719:
Pre I dnt hate, I mix it between 4-bet and call.  If we 4-bet, we r obv 4-bet/getting it in.

Think its pretty spewy and ur hand is sumwat face-up.  Considering we have no reads, a lot of ppl check back Ax on this flop.  Also, with ur line, Im not sure u fold out ne better hands than ur own.

I prob make a small probing bet of ~2875 as I am prob dng this with my entire range on the turn.

shozboy1:
I was pretty confident he didn"t have an ace based on a timing tell I"d picked up afew hands earlier. He"d tank checked on an ace high flop afew hands earlier (against another player) and was afraid to cbet (obv cos he didnt have the ace).

Despite this I felt I was likely trailing to a bigger pair JJ-KK. Hence my line of thinking was trying to get a player who"d shown some weak play in a prev hand and this one to fold a better hand.

In fact he tanked on the turn for nearly all of his 120 sec timebank and called - flipped KK. I think if I"d been luckier and he"d had JJ or QQ he may have found a fold.

I think the other factor in making this move was my shrinking stack, but a stack equal to his so forcing him to call for his life.
