Default Re: 200NL: Do you call this 60BB limp/shove?

you flip w/ most pairs and have him dominated when he has a hand like AQ, AJ. the only hands you really have to worry about is AA and KK.

When someone massively overbets the pot this is narrow-minded thinking. Say you have AKo in the BB and UTG shoves for 100bbs. Action gets to you, and he accidentally flips pocket twos. If you call that because it's just a flip, you're lighting money on fire.

Same thing here. Usually saying that AK flips with pairs is a decent enough approximation because you're almost always getting odds to call as a slight dog, but when the dude shoves for $110 more into a $20 pot, you need to consider the fact that AK is a DOG to those hands you always think you're "flipping" with.

You don't put him on AA or KK here? I know you say he's a donk, but usually, from my experience, a limp from UTG followed by reraise is screaming AA or KK. Not to metion, he's 35/0, which means he hasn't even raised a single hand preflop yet.

I say fold.

I fold here and find a better spot. Just not worth it imo.

I'd much rather find a spot where I KNOW I'm ahead of said monkey and get it in then vs him. Here, we're not sure and we could be crushed.

If he's a monkey, as you say, you'll get it eventually anyway, so I'd wait for a better spot.
