Think I dropped a clanger here.

No reads on oppos post flop play, still in the early exchanges if the first game.

Had his stats recorded but they wouldn't give much away, small sample size, can conclude he likely isn't completely terrible.

£5 game, first of the day.

    only 2 which he's calling with is A2, but we have 1 ace so less likely. I'd get in on turn

    I'm pretty certain I'm ahead here btw. 

    It's about how to get his money in, not a decision as to wether i shud get my money in or not.

    What do u think he calls with if I shove?

    hes calling off with any 9

    93 94s

    oesd probably

    could even put in a re raise to 225-250 just pot commit yourself but yeah hes calling with 95% of 9x's maybe 8s its possible he could have some sort of 2xs

    His either got a 7 and not putting u on a 9 or 2 or his on a flush draw.

    personally i wud min raise it back.

    this is a hu hyper so not much room for play ne ways.

    are you playing cautiously theres a flush pos there lol

    if you wanna play A9off and min raise then hit on a board like that then why wouldnt you carry on? otherwise fold pre. he could just have 2 big over cards although saying this you may have got a reraise if he did, maybe hes got a J10 so 2 over cards and a gut shot. Min raise him another 100 then hes commited and going all the way or flat call so he dosnt think you have the 2 or 9 and your chasing he may shove on you if he opened the betting.

    I do want to carry on, I've got the nuts.

    I want to get all of his chips in, how would you go about doing it considering his stack size, and the cards he's likely to be holding?

    I didn't check, I raised pre, and bet the flop, then he suddenly leads into me on a blank card.

    This is a strange line to take . . . . . .. ?

    sorry he checked the flop but wasnt much for him to call when you bet 55 on the flop and he flat called then when he bet into you on the turn i agree was a blank card and very strange and think he would call you on the flop still with 2 overs and hes put a bet out as hes either hit the 7 on the turn or seen hes got a few outs with the gutshot or flush and having a stab at it to see where he is and what you will do next.

    Call, let him hang on the next card.

    I can understand a shove though as he has committed a large chunk of his stack already and could be feeling as though he is pot committed.

    I think your infront alot here but they sometimes turn up with A,2 suited or something early stages but you have got to think your in front in a hyper. Its a great spot to be in to be honest.

    Feels like oppo will call a shove
    c/c flop then leads turn

    it's a close one,  the lead on turn is either i have set 7's :)( or some 9, pr of 8's, some 7 - can't see him having a 2 but because the lead on turn it's very possible

    still a shove though, more likey to turn over a hand you beat than not

    Yeh I shoved without even thinking about it really, which is obv the wrong move.

    Still not instinctively thinking the right things, default play should be to call then call any river.

    Was 1st game of the day so maybe my brain just wasn't in gear.

    He folded.
