this guy is aggressive postflop, so he may have nothing, but he's not insanely aggressive so he may have a big hand. He's bet the pot, so pot odds are 2 to 1.
I'm ahead here no matter what he has, so I dropped the hammer and pushed. He folded showing T9, so big laydown on his part.
My thinking: if he has nothing, he's folding to any raise. If he has the kind of hand he's representing, then he may call, and that's fine with me as the favorite. I'm not sure this is the correct play for maximizing EV, however. Although if I raise, I'm guessing he's coming back at me, so in that case, my money is going in the middle. Thoughts?
