Thanks to both of you for your responses. Really interesting thoughts on what to do with that flop bet by BTN. In general, I think I need to lean towards shoving more for all the reasons Dunkman said. But I'm glad to hear that my initial slow-play on the flop was defensible and not just another example of my weak tendencies.

And the small raise was donkish but couldn't really hurt-- just delayed the chips going in.

He was probably surprised when I just put in the small raise rather than shoved. And I know I was surprised that he just called rather than re-popped for the stacks. Battle of the asshats [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

As for the turn, yes, the shove was automatic. As was his call.

So Dunkman was right-- all the $$$$ was going in no matter what anyone did.
