In general I don’t want to put too much money in with you hand. My reasons are
1) He is steaming so you don’t have much fold equity, you will only get worse hands to fold (I don’t think he folds top and bottom here).
2) He is steaming so you don’t want to let him off the hook by letting him win a big hand. In my experience someone who is steaming cools off after winning a big hand. Until then, they are willing to put they stack in with some pretty bad hands, but after that they will start playing reasonable again. Because of this I want to wait until I have a better hand then you currenly have to get all in.
3) If you are ahead you are barely ahead, but if you are behind you are way behind
4) The obvious OOP reasons (if he calls the flop you are going to face either a turn or river bet)
If he hasn’t been floating you I would have just lead into him on the flop. If he has been floating you I would either
- Check call the flop and CR or CF the turn
- Check fold the flop and wait for a better hand to stack this guy with.
I am leaning towards leading into him or check folding. Overall I would try and find a better place to finish him off.
