Default Re: top 2 150 deep against nittish player

When you raise the turn, you have to call the shove after.

i don't necessarily agree this is true. just because we made what may likely be one mistake in the hand (c/r-ing the turn against this player) doesn't mean we have to compound it with what might be another mistake (getting all-in once he's shown us that we're crushed by his range). we're praying for him to have approximately one hand. sometimes you'll make a mistake in the hand, realize that midway, but you can still get away from it without compounding it with another one.

i think people feel often like they kind of have to stick with a line, even if it was flawed to begin with, for the hope that this time he'll have the overplayed AJ and we can ultimately feel like we played it "perfectly". problem is when that doesn't work out, your one mistake turned into two
