88 NL100 step by step

[Austiger]

UTG has similar stats as I do (24/19) through 100 hands, but is fishy and weird (notice he's posting UTG.) In an earlier hand he called my UTG raise with J5s and floated a 3-way AK6r flop. Other villain is 18/15 over about 80 hands and seems okay. We haven't tangled and I don't know how he got his stack. I got mine by sucking out on a semi-bluff in a 3-bet pot.

Hero?

(I assume PF is standard, but chime if not...)

I would call because I want UTG to get frisky and any raise you make is gonna be awkward because of your deepish stacks. I think calling and hoping UTG shoves light is the best option.

PF seems fine.

Overcalling here looks way more suspect than shoving....

shove this and hope an overpair calls.

In game, I shove here 100% of the time because of the board texture. I mean there are 11 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3 Jacks, 3 Nines, 3 Sixes, 3 Fours that I don't want to see on the turn. Which is 23 of the 47 possible turn cards. Calling will correctly price these draws in, so I shove for value/hand protection.

In theory, overcalling is so sexy. In a perfect world you call, UTG shoves, CO insta-shoves, and you type, "ship it" in the chat. Sounds so good.

Okay looks like the consensus is all-in. In retrospect, I agree. In the moment though, I got greedy...
