    Theyre calling with a 10 or overpair.....

    I they call a V bet, theyre gonna call an all in...

    Ur min raise on the turn looks super strong tho.....

    I would still overbet in cash, not clued up on MTT strategy but id probably do the same there too.....

    he has to have either nothing or a house with the 10 or overpair.

    so no point in a small value bet as if he has nothing he is folding and if he has the house especially with a overpair he is calling a overbet so got to be at least 4k imo hoping he shoves withs a overpair.


    I dont no if all in would be a good move??? would a 10 fold hear from a all in shove?

    Agree with DOH - the turn min looks super strong!!

    Also agree with DOH when he says if he is calling a v bet then he's calling an all in - the same as Greg says go for Gold!!
    You must have put him on at least a 10 so why not go all in - no way you have JJ QQ KK AA so why wouldn't he call - unless he puts you on the 5 after your min raise on the turn.

    I think the villain has got balls all, though im probably miles out.

    If the villain had a hand surely he would of lead out after the river to get value.

    But im guessing he must have something decent or why post the hand ???

    I would definately SHOVE !

    Probably just pot the river but i guess it depends how good you think the villian is. (as a overbet all-in is usually always the nuts)

    If it was me i would of raised the flop to 1000, pot the turn leaves a slightly less than pot river shove.....easy game

    ok, so it seems the popular option is the all-in...cheers me up a bit for not getting any value!

    I just figured if he has a 10 he's calling anything, can't imagine he was good enough to fold a 10...but I ended up with nowt :(

    Meh, I fold my 10 there.  All I can beat is a bluff, and I don't think your'e bluffing.  There's no point in shoving the river if you are bluffing, you would just put in something like 2/3 of the pot, so imo you are forced to have at the very least an overpair to the board.  But then again, I can see your cards...
