Are you aware that the main goal of a shove is to just pick up the blinds/antes a huge % of the time? I don't mind picking up 15% of my stack here without a showdown.

Are you aware that you have no idea what you are talking about?

Making it 3k seriously invites people to call with pairs and AJ/AQ and use their position to get you to show weakness. You're not fooling anyone when you're a semi-predictable player making an UTG raise. Show that your hand is strong and allin. Don't allow yourself to play a flop out of position with stack sizes the way they are.

Yes we want to tell them our hand is strong since we have only a drawing hand and we don't want to get value out of AK, but want to play it safe and krtjgwjkthbwtjh LOL

My shoving range here is AK, AQs, TT+ most of the time. If people think that's exploitable then I guess my MTT ROI must be an anomaly.

So you open shove, AA, KK here? You're a good player.

And yes 8Adam8, your line in this hand is way, way worse than shoving PF and/or betting the flop, and this type of post-flop situation comes up a lot more than you'd think.

Your argument that open-shoving gains you more +EV than standard raising and it isn't even close is not even remotely correct.
