Stacks
Straddle Villain ~ $60
EP ~ $150
Me ~ $200
Most others have ~ $125-175

S. Villain is super LAG, hes short stacked and has been pushing crap preflop every 2 to 3 hands and he shows, stuff like 33, QJo, A9o, KTo, 97s etc etc. Won't really fold preflop if hes put money in.

EP is passive but probably tighter than the average live donk.

Hero has 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] MP

Preflop:

Villain puts on live straddle $4 to go, EP calls, folds to me in MP I call, rest fold, Villain exercise his option and goes $17, EP agonizes and calls, Hero shoves.


My Thinking - I originally called the live straddle hoping lots of limpers behind me. If I flop a set against a top pair, its almost a guaranteed $100+. I was actually I bit surprised no callers behind. Villain's raise to $17 literally means nothing, he's doing it cuz hes the straddler. EP's agonizing call to me seems like a weak hand A2s-ATs, ATo-AJo, any 2 face, pairs smaller than TT (I assume TT raises). I figure theres no way EP would call the push, and I'm only in really bad shape against 99.

Shove good move? spew?

Thanks
