Seems standard. No one is in danger of busting in the near future and you have a decent amount of FE here b/c SB can fold and still control the table with 4700 chips, and he doesn't want to call and lose and be stuck as 2nd short stack

I like it. You're very rarely worse than a coinflip here. Even w/o an aggro read on SB I probably make this play.

I would fold without much hesitation. I really don't think its all that close...

You are no fun.

I guess to me it's more about the chance to pick up 800 chips than defending my BB.

Agree. There is a good of a chance of getting called and the equity defecit we have to make up to pay a pot is too high to push this hand IMO. If we always get called, we need to win this pot about 67% of the time. Even with the FE, I just don't see this as a +EV push. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Shoving is not good, but there is nothing wrong with gambling and seeing a flop with position here.....nit.

I don't want to call off 600 chips. Anyway I already detailed what situations I thought itd be alright to call. I think calling if he raises to 600 is ok, but I'd lean towards folding...and I would call if he raised 400-500, for those who missed my original post on this subject.

I agree that KQo is bad here, but where would you draw the line? I feel like AQo would be close if he almost never folds (which probably is the case).

But is AQo enough, or should you want AQs or AKo at least here?

AK is obviously an easy shove, and I am fairly sure AQs will be also, but not entirely sure. If it was a raise between 2x or 3x, I think I call here with AQs and go from there. AK, I shove everytime. Am I wrong here?
