NLTRN - Very weak cbet against all-in status shortie
 

He has been very passive player but he has reached that point where he likes to shove. I assume he has reached a point where he feels a little more comfortable (stack-wise) because he has been limping hands lately. His preflop call here preflop I assume is weak.

My thinking is that regardless of if I do 90 or 160, he has to dedicate his whole stack in order to play the hand.

Is there anything better to do?

I hate this situation, and I don't know what else you could do. With so much paint on the board, I would rather check it down. I wouldn't give him credit for bluffing right now, and I wouldn't want to see him with more chips.

I'd rather shove preflop than play this hand. It's got good shoveablity (word?), but little playability. I would also try to check this down.

I disagree with shoving. Sounds like the villain is going to fold trouble hands anyways, no point getting the worst of it with all the chips in the middle.

Re: NLTRN - Very weak cbet against all-in status shortie
 

Are you folding if he shoves over your pf raise? If not, I prefer just shoving.

Re: NLTRN - Very weak cbet against all-in status shortie
 

WTF, minraise PF if anything. 3x raise here is horrible unless you have some aggressive plans and some good reads.

I intended to call a shove, but I think he has a wider range shoving over my bet than he does calling my shove.

I don't think this is true, since he should know he has no FE here. If he'll see more strength in a shove than a normal raise, then I guess so. Most people won't, though.

I'm pretty sure he has no idea what fold equity is. I think the fact that he is making a "shove" instead of a "call" broadens his range.

In that case, it's alright. I assumed a 55er would be better than that [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

Keep in mind I'm used to FR SNGs, so my instinct is to shove the [censored] out of everything when I'm in the SB. So I'm probably a bit too aggressive here.
