Difficult preflop spot
 

No real history with wynn but basically i just have to be ahead of him....What would your preflop priority be vs an unknown, anyone think folding or raising is much better than calling?

I kinda like a shove here...there is a lot of money in the pot and I think we get looked up very very light here.

Re: Difficult preflop spot
 

Shove.

Your hand is fairly strong and underrepresented, wynn could be squeezing with a range that you're far ahead of, and mossy is terrible if he's slowplaying a higher PP.

normally i'd argue for a shove but christ are these two players nits

Re: Difficult preflop spot
 

shove you nit

Re: Difficult preflop spot
 

if you shove will he call with TT or a worse pair? probably not. so if the $350 you want to nab is worth the $1k or more that you're spending on it, then shove is viable.

i'm in the calling camp myself, though QQ+ or AK would probably be shoves in the same spot.

I always shove if I get to this spot like this.
