Default Re: NLTRN $5 River push or Value bet?

I see, Ive never really thought about it in terms of math/chipstacks. It depends on your opponents tendencies, his range comp. to boardstructure (if hes drawing), your own holding (its strenght) etc.

When you hold the immortal nuts on a dry board there is no reason to shove at all. Unless you know that your opponent is more likely to call a shove than luring bets. At the lower levels however you will be more successful drawing them into the pot with moderate bets on all streets.

When you shove the turn you do it because

- you dont want to give correct odds
- you want to commit yourself
- you want FE with draws/combo draws/halfmade hands
- you know he is gonna call with hope for holdings but might fold the river if he doesnt get there / you fire again.

thats all I can think about for now. As long as you have a reason for doing something you will be playing better than 75% of the opposition at OPs stakes.
