I actually considered shoving first, but since the villain was far nittier than the usual, decent 10NL players I didn't believe it'd get called by anything other than QQ. Sure, by betting about half my stack I exceeded all commitment thresholds but it's not certain that villain was even conciously aware of the concept.

Oddly enough, even the standard ABC-tight sphincters on Stars appear to treat overbet shoves on river as signs of huge hands. For what it's worth, villain did this with AA. He also ended up on my notes. Anyone that tight should be easy to exploit if I ever find myself on the same table again.

Bugger, if I had known what hand he held, I would have taken the b/3b line from flop. A player that TAG would have played for stacks on any non-spade turn.
