What should I do in this situation? I obviously think he has a flush draw, should I push or just overbet the pot? Or should I bet to give him odds to call? Should I check? This guy had been playing about 40% to the flop...

In this situation, it's a little later at the same table, and I've been playing very TAG. This guy has been tighter than most at the table, about 25%, but not so aggressive post-flop. What would you do with his re-raise on the flop? Push? Call? Fold?

As with the other, I'll post the outcome after discussion.

Thanks!

When I play those limits, 3-4x the BB means nothing. AA, KK, QQ, and AK are 8x the BB.

In the first hand, realize that most idiots at this level won't calc. pot odds or implied odds...if they see a flush draw, or middle pair, or sometimes even a gutshot draw, they will call down any bet. I'd overbet it, you know he will make a horrible call and you get paid 80% of the time when the flush misses the river

I think last hand is a fold. 3xBB on microlimits preflop is nothing. He could hold AhXh, 4h5h, ...other option is to push...if you call his reraise, there is no card that doesn't scare you on the turn except another 10, or a non heart 8 or 9. Either fold or reraise.

micro isn't any better than play money. People will call with just about anything. Could be he's got a weaker ace, maybe he made 2nd or bottom pair, maybe a straight draw or a flush draw, it's just impossible to tell.

i would bet 4 on hand 1. he could have a weaker ace too... which probably folds to an allin... btw why would you bet enough to give him odds to call w/ a flush draw, that doesnt make any sense.

hand 2 i just put him in.

is it really possible to play these kinda limits? I mean it looks like i'm just playing with spare change.. i don't think icould make myself fold a nut flush draw even if i had horrible pot odds.
