Message: [QUOTE="Jesus Lederer, post: 388385, member: 3283"] You said that the advantage of the all in over the call is that opponent may fold. I don´t agree with that (in this particular situation) because according to most opinions (including yours) the most likely hands that opponent may have are AK or AQ, and in both situations is almost sure that he´s going to call any bet (especially thinking that he reraised). In my opinion the advantage of the push instead of the call is that i´m putting all my chips in the pot when i think i´m the big favourite, and also i´m not risking getting a scary card on the turn that only would have helped my opponent if he was the underdog at the flop. I´m not discarding the fact that he may have AQ, but if i think he has it, then the moment to fold is just after he makes his reraise. Of course if i push he´s only going to fold a worse hand than mine, but if i just call and he´s holding crap, then as you said he may attempt a bluff. This would be great because the only thing i would have to do is to call his bluff, but then it comes a big problem: how i´m suppose to know if his bet is a bluff or a value bet with AQ? Either way he´s going to bet at the turn no matter what comes, so if i decide to call or push at the turn no matter what comes (except K or Q), then why didn´t i push at the flop? When you say that i can still get out of the hand if i really dont like the look of it, the only thing i can imagine is that on the turn comes a K or a Q. In both cases it´s an easy fold at the turn, but that easy decision is the consequence of a previous bad decision. If a K comes, then i´m folding to a hand that i was big favourite at the flop and didn´t take advantage of that at the right moment. I have one question to you: If you call and in the turn comes a blank, are you going to call if he makes a big bet or pushes? [/QUOTE]
