50NL: Pot is $50 before flop action, should I shove pf?
I think I would have shoved if not for the other big stack to my right. He seems like a doofus, and while it doesn't seem like he's getting cagy with AA/KK, that's what doofuses do, right?
SB is the guy from my "Small Pots OOP" post and he's shaping up to be a big idiot.

Interesting spot. I think I shove, though, expecting to have the best hand. (I'm not giving BB's shorty push that much credit, even if it is a 4-bet, and besides, we're obviously at least calling him anyway.)

Have you guys looked at the stacks? You're shoving another $90 there with QQ after CO has shown some intense interest. How often do you think getting 200 BBs in preflop with QQ is going to end happily?
I think I like the hand as played. |

[/ QUOTE ] By the time that the shove would happen pf, CO has min raised and that is it. I don't call that intense interest. Shoving is bad because it allows him to play perfectly with a monster like KK-AA where we are crushed, otherwise there is very little chance CO calls. However, reraising to like $25-30 and then seeing what CO does accomplishes the same thing without allowing CO to play perfect poker when he has AA-KK. The main problem that I see with our hand is that if we do put in ~30, we have to commit on the flop since there is really only one more pot sized bet left if CO comes along. So does that mean that hero played it right? Not sure but it doesn't seem that bad. +EV |

Shove over the shortie. If CO happens to have a monster good for him. Way too much free money in the pot to play it any differently.

Most definitely shove here.
You want to get it HU with shortie and have a ton of dead money in the pot. |
