my normal line here would be b3bai.... but he's shallow, and I'm not sure how much FE a 3bai will have. Given that, is a crai better? Any other lines/issues?

Donking it up at 25NL because I just got Pokerstars working with Wine on my new AMD64 Kubuntu box and I don't have much money there.

If you squeeze this pre-flop you need to make it 1.75.

Given how short he is I would open push flop.

Hero bets $3...... if he raises I shove

[Antinome]

he raises to 9, is he ever folding to a push? obviously i'm pushing if it comes to that, and its +EV, but is it optimal?

raising more pf is correct. Open pushing is ...interesting. I've never open pushed anything ever. When else do I take this line? Isn't it transparent? or is it meant to look like a donk orgasming on the pot?

[Triggerle]

By open pushing you maintain FE that goes away if you bet and he raises. Your combo draw isn't all that great so I'd be happy to take it down.

I wouldn't worry about being transparent against a shortie.

I bet and 3 bet. You have so many outs, that fe bearly matters

[Triggerle]

I think quite a few of your outs are dead if he raises and he has re-draws with a high [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

That fold equity is free money, ignore it at your peril.

Realize we're looking at 3 +EV lines here and trying to decide the most profitable line.

I'm going to try the open push line here, it never occurred to me.

When open pushing it also matters how you push. A raise that puts him AI has slightly lower FE than a raise to exactly his remaining stack size or a raise to your stack size. (Although a push for all your stack is sometimes more likely to be seen as a bluff, depending on villian.)

I've noticed that, and use it already. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
