we both have 110 left
i figure 45 doesnt give him +EV odds to chase draw and sets up easy river push if he call as his stack will be 65 into a 150 pot

** Dealing Flop ** [ Ks, 6c, 8s ] a pretty good safe flop, not too worried about Kx out flopping me even vs 2 loose 50% vpipers, KK would get it in preflop, 66 88 possible but mostly not the case, a few draws they could chase,
hockeyguy99 bets [$18.00 USD] std 3/4 pot
DWilly23 folds
eyeH8all_IN raises [$40.00 USD] unexpected, but he had done some hinky stuff in previous hands so not too concerned im beat

pot is 82
i have his 120 left covered
hockeyguy99 raises [$126.00 USD] i put him in
eyeH8all_IN folds
hockeyguy99 wins $104.00 USD
hockeyguy99 wins $101.00 USD from main pot

i feel like i was far enough ahead that i should have given him another chance to spew
A) call and see what he does on turn, no over card can hurt me, he has at most 9 flush outs
but more likey 5 outs if he has a pair
B) reraise less $40-$60 to get a call and turn shove would be about 70 into a 200 pot hoping that he cant get off 1 pair although it would give him very good drawing odds w/ 9 outs, but not w/ 5 outs
I would be lying to not say i prefer to get it in when i am sure i am ahead and not let pots linger and develop into tough spots like if a K Q J T 9 hits the turn and are all likely in his Kx range, it doesnt really bother me too much if he hits it after the money is in( ok it is annoying) because i know he made mistake and got lucky

I am sure in lower games 50nl i like the shove as such a good chance to get a call
I am not sure my 200nl buddy is just as bad as lower stake players,( i keep expecting the 200nl players to be better but there is NO EVIDENCE OF THIS SO FAR in the few thousand hands i have played so far, god bless bodog)
I was also thinking when the passive player raised he had a hand and would continue
he was a 48/7/12 preflop and 1.0/0.5/inf guy over 60 hands
I think i was concerned he wouldnt bet turn again and if he had a good draw he would call

i think i am being a bit results oriented because i was disappointed because i didnt get his stack

any thoughts anyone?

thanks hg
