if we 3-bet flop, what amount do we make it?

[uclabruinz]

I like it as played. Seems pretty standard.

[NoahSD]

Only real question is the turn. I like the way you played it.

[Cornell Fiji]

You definitely took the most standard line and the line I would take 75%+ of the time.

Betting the turn and calling a shove would also be fine.
A river shove would be pretty badass but thats obviously highly read dependent.

[uclabruinz]

Cornell, explain how shoving the river is +EV please.

[NoahSD]

Yeah.. shoving the river is total spew. Sure, it looks bluffy, but the guy's range is polarized to [censored] that can't call and [censored] that beats us.
