Default Re: Top two facing heat

Shove because you have top 2. Why?

1.) Value. He'll call with worse.
2.) Protection. Your hand is strong but vulnerable.
3.) Position. You are OOP.
4.) Shoving is fun.
5.) You're not me so he won't have a set.

I agree with protection, but he flatted earlier with the NFD in position so do u think draws make up that big a part of his range? - if not then there isnt much to protect against (not like we have to worry about overcards really). As for value, what hands do u think hell call with that I beat? 96 is unlikely given pf and although 64 is prob in his pf range - is that enough to shove and hope for? (not to mention the times a nit will fold bottom 2 for a full stack - obviously not very often but I imagine some of the time). Im still not sure.

You are OOP, so what do you recommend instead? Call and check so he can check behind on the turn? Board pairs the 4 your hand is ruined, runner-runner pair your hand is ruined, he hits a set your hand is ruined and you don't know it. Just get the moniez in now.
