No real reads as this is just my 2nd orbit at the table. I can say he isn't a very loose player from what I have seen.

Flop: ($2.63) , , (2 players)
Hero???

Hero only has .70c left when the flop hits and the pot is $2.63

With those numbers in mind I pushed.

Standard?

Push is standard. Ugly flop but if you are going to commit have of your stack preflop, it really doesn't matter what the flop is. You have .71 left and a pot of 2.63. MALLIN.

I dont' understand why you didn't push preflop...he gave you an opportunity to push here with the best hand and you just reraised a large amount which ties you to the pot.

Yeah, when you get almost 3/4 of your stack in preflop you're going to get the rest in no matter what the flop is, right?

You're betting $.70 to win $3.30 (including his call), getting almost 5-1. It's definitely an ugly board, but you just have to push and hope he has .

Feel free to push preflop every time you get re-raised because 90% of the time they will call and you will have gotten your money in as an 80% favorite or more.

The question of what to do on the flop is silly, of course you should push, you've got 2/3 of your stack in preflop, doesn't matter what he has.
