Re: flop shove with mid pair
[ QUOTE ]
I don't get it, why not just call the flop? Or bet/call a push if you must. I think shoving gets us AI with the hands that have us killed, and gets the random draws we don't mind being AI against to fold.

It's more of 3 bet pot theory than specific to hu cash. If he's 3 betting light and betting heavy on the flop, we can be calling lighter and shoving hands with decent equity against his calling range because we'll have higher fold equity when his range is wider.
HU, it's a little more flow dynamic though and a shove against a decent player is a little more transparent. I would rather call here and play postflop.
