Re: FTP NL10 - Standard shove?
Yes, the minraise is stinky. If you swore to never minraise you would almost never be hurting your play and you'd usually be improving it.
In general I like 3xBet as a raise, and I see no reason to do anything different here. Make it $1.80 to go and snap-call when he pushes. You're up against combo draws FAR more often than sets -- I see A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] x[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] instapushing this flop, and against that hand you are a big favorite. He could also consider pushing with a strong ace or two pair, both of which you have blown out of the water. If he happens to have 88 or AA then you double him up, but even if he WASN'T relatively short-stacked I'm still happy to get all-in on this flop.
Don't look for monsters under the bed; just put the money in the middle. If it went wrong this time just shake it off and do it again -- in the long run, all-in on this flop is EXTREMELY profitable for you.
