I hope this is a level of some kind.

easy shove pre...

I like it alot. The short stack will most likely not come in against an utg raise and caller. Then you can play the pot in position with a decent hand. If the shorty shoves then we can reshove if utg just calls and race with the overlay, or if he moves in then easy fold.

You had a read right...
I love floating in position, but I generally want to pick up a decent read prior.

i personally min bet turn to induce bluff shove but as played nh

Since when did calling an UTG raise with J2s (yes even with position) become profitable? Are you floating the flop if it's 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]?

Re: These are the kind of plays you can make when you are good...
 

I don't like at all. What possible read have you got that makes this profitable?

Hmm, is this a level? Cos its pretty bad...

Re: These are the kind of plays you can make when you are good...
 

I assume this is a level of some kind, cos it's pretty bad IMO.

But if not, you got lucky in that you: a) hit a flush draw and b) he had a pocket pair and was afraid of the Ace.
