i shove this all day. you have sooo many outs to the nuts. i know he is not folding but im sure if you stove this you are correct in shoving. He probably has AJ or 88 here

Nice hand. Besides flopping the ultimate nuts, this flop is about as good as it gets for your hand.

Shove, you have tremendous FE, but if I were you I would beg to get called.

Re: 25NL - Royal Draw Facing c/r on flop from nit
 

you have a monster hand with equity against even the tightest of ranges. get it in. also, make sure to get there.

I think I'd just call. A villian with those stats I'm thinking most of the time the worst hand he has here is AQ and he is rarely rarely ever folding.


Ahh....what do I know. Even against that tight a range shoving 12 outs here is fairly clear (add-in any FE and it's pretty +ev):

The value of your hand is greatest on the flop. If you hit on the turn/river and you aren't AI then you may not get paid. Fold equity is a big factor here too. Re-raise it up.

shoving is a pretty large bet... dont we want villain to call?

No, you want him to fold. That is why an allin move makes this a +EV move. In case villain decides to make the call we still have outs to win the hand but we still have to get there.
At least this is what i think. Maybe a reg. can confirm my idea?
