My first try at a Prima room (Royal Card Club). NL $100. BB is semi-loose-aggressive and not afraid to play big pots.

BB has $248.70. I have $72.80 OTB with .

All fold to me. I raise to $3.00.

SB folds, BB reraises to $9.00, I call $6.00

Flop comes .

BB bets $10.00, I go all-in for $66.80, BB calls without much hesitation.

----------------------------

I figured I had to raise, and since that would pot commit me, I might as well push. Thoughts?

I like it. There's no gaurentee he has the .

The board isnt that scary considering HE reraised you preflop. That means the only hand that beats you is [Kd] and even then you have alot of outs.

Its more likely he has AA or KK with or w/o a diamond, but either way, youre the favorite.

I play it the same.

Well, that was reassuring. Ice, you were right. He had and my hand held up. I think that was a crazy call by him.

Glad it worked for you. I almost always lose when I flop a set to a 3 suited board.

Glad it worked out for you, I think I would have done the same as well.
Alternatively, what do you guys think about just calling the flop to see whether a diamond comes on the turn before getting push-happy?
Even though it's limit, Jennifer Harman talks about using this strategy in SS 2 against a 3 flush board and I'm thinking about adopting it as well.
