With my re-raise I wanted to price the other 2 into the pot, but I think I bet too much. Should I push, minraise or call/push?

push, don't slowplay as SSS and wen you are going to be commited, just go allin. It's a lot less suspicious.

With your raise to 1.10 on the flop you was already pot committed to push on the turn so you should have just pushed on the flop, and the SSS states that if an opponent has already bet on the flop when you have a made hand then you instantly push.


Just push on the flop.

forgot to mention in my original post that you shouldn't go anywhere near 55 if your playing correct SSS, also you nevel call a bet with SSS, its either raise, push or fold.

i disagree with the posts so far. I think you can call in this situation preflop because of the 3 limpers. (don't call with less) Imo you have the absolute nuts and NL10 players in general do not think so a slowplay is possible.

As a shortstacker you should as a rule always follow the standard play. However in this situation you have what i regard to be the absolute nuts. It is always relatively easy to get all-in by the river as a shorty and you may see more bets on further streets.

So on the flop i think you could have taken the line of

  1. A smaller reraise
  2. A call followed by an all-in on turn.

Personally i would choose option 2.

oh if you were wondering, what i regard the absolute nuts;
-Nut/Top Straight on rainbow, unpaired board.
-A high flush on unpaired board.
-Any full house or better.

what about if someone was holding a 7, such as J7, K7 etc. Its no longer the nuts. The term nuts only means when you have the absolute unbeatable hand no matter what other cards may come, or are already showing.

Sure it's callable in position and even out of it with sufficient number of limpers.

I don't like your flop play though. You flopped absolute moster, a boat, and that way there're nearly no hands that can realistically call your raise here. I prefer simply calling as you can't really get outdrawned on the turn and river and waiting for anyone to hit something.


Thank you 098799 and DaPhunk
I didn't like my flop play either, hence the post
After reading the advice Call/raise push turn is the best option in this situation.

One more thing: I'd like it much more if you had stack bigger than 20bb. With 17.5bb it's maybe not so 'sure it's callable' as I just wrote ;p but I think it's still correct because of the number of limpers.
