I am just wondering about a situation. This does happen few times a game and wanted to get feedback for the other members. You are playing a hand you get atc does not matter what they are because this about a situation. So the flop comes and it really is not any thing special but you have options. You have an aggressive player in front of you. He Bets min. You call, the turn card hits you and you sure you have him beat. He raises again and you re-raise a little more, he calls. The river nothing special and you 99% sure you have him beat, he raises you then what? Do you re-raise for value or shove? If you shove you might lose him. Now remeber the broad is pretty tame looking.

This situation is where multi tabling can be bad. If you have a good read on the villan, you should have an idea of the best way to extract chips from him. Its hard to standardize a reraise everytime or a shove...you have to play the player and the situation.

Based on the scenario you laid out, I'd reraise him

I'd have to agree I'd reraise and hope my read was right, if there's nothing really big on the board it doesn't seem like a hand to go for a kill! even hitting a small set, you take what you can get.:boxing:

Sometimes a tame looking board works to an agressive players advantage...there's no telling what he/she might have played...take the chips with just a call or small re-raise here!:cool: :cool: :cool:

really depends level youre playing at at the low limits your opp might go broke with second pair, and it sounds like your saying you have at least top pair beat, so depending on chip stack id make about pot size bet, if thats almost all in (you or your opp) just shove. If your playing a high dollar buy in (aka raises and reraise preflop, or first raise takes pot) you need to play very carefully as opp probably has you beat, his bet on river could be a block bet, or just a well disguised value bet-that hes hoping youll reraise, just smoth calling would be correct, i mean folllw the action he lead on non descrip board, was able to call a reraise on a non draw board, and still lead the river, id need the nuts to reraise those actoins.

In the situation as you described it I'd say push, in the end you'll win more this way than any other option. Even if he folds you win the pot, if he calls, chances are you are ahead and take down even more.

I agree with Shady, i would push too (only if i´m pretty sure i have him) if not, you already have a big pot and then just call.
