Default Re: $25NL, flop str8

I thought for a second, re-evaluated stack sizes, and figured with the size of the pot and the texture of the flop, my equity was good enough to shove. So, that's what I did. He snap called and QQ>KJhh.

I ran poker stove on this and unless his range is only sets, 2pr and straights, I'm better than the 31% equity I need for shoving to be correct.

Does it make it easier or harder to call if he check/shoves?

This is a difficult question, because as I stated above, a min raise is still a very signficant bet at 2/4. It's 77 BBs. So, if this was a thinking player he would realize that a min raise = a shove because if I can call a min raise I can call a shove.

But, I posted this in MSNL and there were people that thought it'd be easier to call if he just shoved. Obviously the shove makes you think more draws are possible.

Personally, the fact he min raised didn't really factor into my decision to shove.
