Default Re: HAY LOOK I\'M PLAYING BUSTO STAKES HOW\'S MY VALUE SHOVE?!

[ QUOTE ]
How do people feel about a minraise here? I know the word itself brings on OMG TERRIBLE...but I think a case can be made that a K may call a minraise enough for it to have more value than a shove.

It may not look like a bluff as much...but it'd be pretty hard to fold to the minraise

Our opponent can only really call with a king here as a bluffcatcher, and when we minraise we really can't rep a bluff. I mean, it still is gonna get looked up pretty often but not so much more than a shove that the frequency outweighs the lost value.

Fonkey, I was about to say that he could pretty easily have a set or AK or whatever that missed a turn check/raise, but looking at that river bet sizing you're ahead here very very often. Nice hand.
