I mean not the worst shove with a set, but dude got paid off with like the 2 hands that will possibly call him that he's ahead of which is pretty sick.

What are you talking about, wardekar??? How do you not shove a set if you're button, wth. It's not even a pot sized AI. Just calling w/ 88 on that flop is just awful.

Also, this is a must call, because of the 98/huge combo draw possibilities.

I don't see how this is the easy call / push every one is making it out to be. As described, I doubt button insta-pushes an unmade hand. This feels more like: "I'm ahead, this is a dangerous board, let's get it in." 88, TJ and 99 ( less so, obv) are in his range and he'd play them like this.

It would be different if he tanked for 2 minutes and did it, or if he was a good young player who quickly understood the value of a big draw / combo hand there, and therefore insta-pushed.

Also, my experience is that live, once they are in the money, there is some sort of 'I want to savor this' aspect to many players' decision making process. Insta-pushing with an unmade hand in a 3-way pot doesn't fit that description.

I suck at folding but I think you can find one here.

what does button do if he has AJs here

super easy call so that big stack can't fold his overpair/whatever 1 pair hand

BU has KK/AA here so often, and you beat those hands.

Do they flat call on the BTN with AA/KK that much live? It seems that most nits come from the "I have to bet out so they won't outdraw me/I always lose with AA" school of thought. Wouldn't expect that level of trickiness from this guy.

I didn't have a great read on this guy so I obviously have to call, but these older nits I believe would just call closing out the action with AsJs or As10s.

Also I dont believe 98s was in button's preflop range, and I don't think he would insta-shove AQ although I can't say for sure.
