Insurance: Can I just call here?
 

<font color="blue">I am running so badly the last days, that I need insurance on a pretty basic thing. I think a river shove is perfectly fine but my confidence is a little failing. Villan 73/3/1.0 on 200 hands. He doesn't have KK or QQ to beat me he needs the case seven and eigher er K or a queen. That can only happen to me und I have to shove and be thankfull that he hasn't a full stack right?</font>

Yes.

no you can't just call, shove everytime.

Re: Insurance: Can I just call here?
 

In this case I think you are looking for assurance not insurance. And let me assure you that I would play the hand exactly how you did. Chalk it up to varience.

fine

Re: Insurance: Can I just call here?
 

No other way to play it, really, IMO. Baluga Theorem, etc. If you double him up, it's bad luck/variance, but I think a vast majority of the time you're getting called by any 7, AK, KQ, etc.
