That is tough, however because the shove is so big. I like your play here, but note it is higher variance. If you felt you had an edge against these players, I don't like your shove. It is a pretty small edge compared to shoving pre, so pressing your skill advantage is a better play.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-15622350780082209272011-06-06T11:43:54.740-04:002011-06-06T11:43:54.740-04:00Matt's right.

Your other option would have been NOT to 3b and then likely be forced to fold to his cont bet (though floating IP with 2 overs is a possibility - he likely would have barrelled with his drawing hand and forced you to fold anyway).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-62785481460353535762011-06-06T09:11:39.111-04:002011-06-06T09:11:39.111-04:00aha!, well that's a bit different, but I still...aha!, well that's a bit different, but I still think it's fine to shove with SPR<1.

KK?<br /><br />He obv hits the near-perfect flop to crack you, but the mistake in this hand is him calling a huge 3bet with 76s in a tourney, leaving an SPR<1. <br /><br />It's only an awkward shove vs. like 5% of his total hands, so shoving flop is a no brainer.matt taghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082969194551315973noreply@blogger.com
