Game is 5/10/25 but also playing button game, where money adds up on button and if the button player wins the hand, he gets that money.
I am on the button and there is a lot on there -- about $500. Many players here will raise big very light to try to take it down.
I actually have a hand AdQd. There is already a raise to $125 and I then 3-bet to $450. I get FOUR callers.
Flop is 7d5d2c. Great flop for me. I get donked into for $1200 and everyone else folds to me. he has about $3500 left behind. He is an action player and could definitely have a pair and a flush draw. Maybe he has a set but he seems to be playing very fast to protect something. Really could have anything but definitely made a statement.
I am never folding here of course. For me, the problem with calling is then there is already over 3K in pot. He will shove the turn. If I call now and miss what do I do on the turn. If I go all-in now I have two overs and the nut flush draw and I know we will run it twice.
Even if he has a good hand I am probably 40% at worst and I have 4 cards to hit even one diamond to at least chop.
I have him covered and push all-in on the flop. He calls.
Thoughts?
EDIT: I am asking especially because I just stepped up to these stakes and while I don't want to be too tight, I also want some pot control when I should so that I don't spew too much also -- if that makes sense.
