Shove. AT BvB 40bbs deep = nuts.

Re: Hand for Discussion from PS $215
 

I would call as you have a decent hand heads up this time, and re-evaluate on the flop.

You seem to be too deep stacked to make pushing necessary now.

I will be interested to see what other players think.

I'd probably fold. Most people aren't going to reraise you the second time on a bluff, and I find people that show hands in these situations are usually weak-tight nits (not tricky thinking players setting up an elaborate bluff) that are so proud of the pretty cards they got dealt.

Re: Hand for Discussion from PS $215
 

Personally, I'm not raising there if I'm going to fold to a reraise so, as played, I'm shoving. I might limp/call or limp/rr intially in this situation.

Re: Hand for Discussion from PS $215
 

looks to me that villian has been paying attention

he sees the 3k bet as a steal attempt you can easly let go agaisnt a raise of the 10800 bet

so he bets the same amount again

mostly this is just a bluf IMO

i dont know bout calling as youre not shure where you are on the flop
and reraising him would be an insta push as youre committed
still i think if you reraise to like 30-35k you show youre committed but dont wanna scare him off too much

if you dont feel comfortable with this move then dont do it and fold again... *showed him twice you will fold to this bet* next time do it again with a big Pair of AQs+ and hope he will raise you again

Having db-ed the guy, this is probably a fold.

Hate it... but fold. Coming over the top AI isn't too bad either, but I doubt he lays down many legit hands here. If he's only played 3 in 3 orbits, you gotta give him credit (even if 2 were BvB).
