Default Re: bad shove?? AT utg

k i no most will say push here and i can see that online ppl dont notice your plays so thats fine but im tryin to make my play unreadable for when i start playing large live tournies. if you get AA in this situation would you push with your M of 6.7? hell no! thats why if you see a player on this forum push you shud feel safer than if they make a standard raise if they have an M of 5 - 7. not berating but comments welcome on this.

btw your M is not just over 5 its 6.7 which will soon be 3.25 if the blinds rise next hand.

i make standard 3bb raise

There is a major difference between playing optimally and playing unexploitably. Just because some good players will discount AA/KK from your range if you open shove does not mean that open shoving is not the most +ev play that you can make.

There are a lot of players who would play AJ/22-TT if you open for 3bbs but who would fold if you open shove.

This hand is an easy shove
