i'm all in in case of a nasty spade!!!

I think there is only one option here and that is as prowler said….all you can eat baby!! I don’t think the reason for pushing is to protect our hand from a flush draw though. He has virtually told us that he has a 6, it’s possible he has an Ace but most likely it’s a 6 and quite rarely a flush draw.

Now the pot may only be small but there is a simple fact about 99% of our opposition online – they will not fold a straight here for ANY amount of money. It’s the same principle as Zeebo theorem but here we apply it to this straight instead of a full house. Also, a spade on the end will likely kill our action so we want to get it in before that happens.

Definitely a big re-raise here every time.
If he has the 6 then he'll find it very tough to fold.

I see in the heading you say that you f@cked up this hand. How was that then ?

The only way you can fuck it up is if you just call and a spade comes!!

...that is exactly how I fucked it up. I was playing a big pot on another table and just called. I did a double take after calling cause as soon as I did it I knew it sucked. River came a spade, he bet half pot, I called.

The point is though, I think getting it all in on the turn is better than any other line.

that was an unfortunate hand but was one of the spades a six because if it was id say he was calling you all in on the turn any way, hus losing more so look on the brightside bud.

Opps, didn't include his hand...he had T

6

. I should have lost a lot more money on that hand...so kind of a lucky f'up really!

Woody thats just unlucky.

Even you have have pushed on the turn he would have called.

He has the made straight and the flush draw so most internet players would have called. You got off lightly. However you have to know he has the flush on the river so a fold it good

You got off lightly as you could have lost a buy in there!

Finally a decent post
