AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AhKh all bet out here don't they. Bet your standard bet. Any read on MP2, will he float you here. I can't image he calls wide on this flop with you betting UTG.

But what is he flat calling with that folds? 66-AA isn't folding. I can hope he has AQ/AK or other high cards.

Yes I just spewed more chips. He's folding such a small % of his calling hands. AhQh/AhKh are calling too.

I guess I should have stuck with my 1st thought, fold pre. (But you knew that)

As played, check fold.

If you bet - he calls a big % of his calling hands, I can't see a positive +ev bet here.

Every other option seems FPS and spewy.

As for preflop, I thought it would look like I had a real hand and wasn't stealing UTG, and it was unlikely anyone would resteal light. Obviously, I wouldn't do it except for the bubble. This play also makes my hands harder to read.

If you don't like to hear different opinion, you can ignore my post, but please be polite at least. The forum is for all of us, not just you. I would never say "stop posting" to anyone but I will start to ignore you on this forum.

This is what I think as well, his range seems heavily weighted towards pairs and he can easily float you. We have incredibly [censored] reverse implied odds as well.

Shan -

I don't really consider shoving this flop to be a different opinion, I consider it to be a garbage clown superfish play.
