Re: Bad Shove Pre?
If you don't respect either player, why not try to outplay them postflop instead of doing this sort of thin-edge, high-variance coinflip? I'm not saying the shove was necessarily bad, but against the usual cast of villains I play BB will have AALx here a lot of the time, and you're not a favorite against that hand. Adding in a wider range for CO makes things look better for you but I don't think considered in isolation that your push is +EV. A236s just isn't a monster HU (basically a coinflip or worse against any AWBBs hand); its strength comes from its freeroll and/or redraw possibilities when the board comes low. I would just have called BB's raise.
