The only hand that made sense to me was KJ, but he wasn't as reasonable as I made him out to be. I decided that I could not fold getting those odds, and additionally, that I didn't want him to get scared when I hit. I also thought he would fold maybe one time in five, so I went all-in. He actually tanked for quite a bit before calling with K9, meaning that he had gotten very lucky on the turn after I had gotten kinda lucky on the flop. Well, the bad news is that now 6 of my outs are only for a chop, one of them is in his hand, which means two more give the pot to him. So, 11 clear outs. The good news is that I hit my flush.

I don't think he has enough behind for him to fold any hand that beats you. His range is still pretty wide in my mind.

He might have J9, KT, JT, QT...maybe even K9 or even AK (but unlikely). I dont think he would defend with less than K9 though. If he has J9, he is bet is a flush defender bet. I can't see a reasonable player playing any other hands in that situation and then betting $30 in that spot with only $50 left behind. If he has T's, 7's or 8's IMO he is dumb for his flop action.

Hi Jim.

Once the out hits, push him for his last $20, which he has to call at that point. Did he flop a set? I put him on K8, or K7 and call the $30 so I can see if I get one of my many outs.
