$5 NLHE 6-max: Can I Avoid This?

$5 NL HE 6-max: Can I Avoid This?

No history with opponent, I think this is my first hand of the table maybe because no stats show up in HEM review, but how often does villain push with a straight, I now think I am beat here a ton of the time, because the only thing im beating is 10s+ and even 10s and Js have strong draws to the str. Stupid I know, flog me with your flames!

Its 5nl so normally i'd say ship it in a heart beat but your deep here so it's an awkward spot, i probs still ship it but with half as much enthusiasm.

There's def a lot of draws and over cards in his range i think but don't be suprised to see a set either, i think its quite marginal tbh

Stop buying in 200 bb's deep when you're not sure how to play deepstacked.

i prob check the flop here multiway, keep the pot small... i wouldnt want to play a big pot here in this spot.. on a board like this multiway your going to be raised or called a lot, so it doesnt make sense to bet such a marginal hand..

oh and the villian didnt push with the striaght, you pushed him all in.. so now the villain is playing a big pot on his terms when you could be drawing semi dead...

in a nutshell.... you overplayed aces...

Deepstacked, if we're betting that flop (and I don't disagree w WiZZiM that checking behind on this flop is good), we want to bet enough to get rid of hands that can't continue (just over 1/2psb would do it), but we're not really crazy about getting action.

Fold to BB's c/r, our equity isn't good enough against even drawing hands, let alone made hands, to play for stacks 200 deep. He's not doing this w JJ+ unless he's really bad.
