seanyj24 ...?

What a beautiful flop but I'm not sure how I should play it. Should I just call to try and make my hand or should I be re-raising?

Villain is 16.3/13.3/6 over 99 hands.

Raising gives you two ways to win the pot, calling only gives you one

I raise to ~$9 and call a shove.

so what happened? i'm holding my breathe.

Re-Raise!!! If he wont call a raise he wont call when you hit your hand . I say $12.00 sounds right, this will look like an over bet from the button and might induce him to call with a marginal hand, and if he does re-raise you representing a set you can push with your 17 outs, you are more then likely to be the favorite to win the hand. ( only thing to worry about is if he was drawing to a higher flush but not really)

definately raise, i play my gutshots aggresively so this flop is like heaven to me. I say big reraise hoping for a push from him to call and hope

As a very solid player I can see him with AdQd/AdKd or a biggish pair, either way he's not going anywhere and you're obviously not going anywhere so I say get it all in on the flop while you still have great odds to hit a hand and while it folds out the AKos which could bluff you off the turn if you flat call.

Against a range of 99, 66, 33 JJ+ and AdKd you are a favourite (and a bigger one if you do not include AKd): please to be reraising and calling any shove. You are never behind here against any holding and you have even redraws against AdKd.

This is the kind of flop you should be stacking off with 100% of the time no matter what in cash games.

I edit your range to 99+,66,33,AdKd,AdQd,AdJd,KdQd and in fact we are a v.v.v.v.v.slight dog.

Umm...you're behind any set and any 2 higher diamonds..

This is in fact a thing of beauty good point

What I meant is that against villain's whole range, we are not behind. And against a set, we have about 42% equity, wich is huge. Wrong phrasing.
