BB ($80)
UTG ($352.40)
MP ($200)
Hero ($291.15)
Button ($267.05)
SB ($147.40)

This is literally his first hand so the only thing i know about him is that he posted from MP.

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. MP posts a blind of $2.
1 fold, MP (poster) raises to $8, Hero raises to $26, 3 folds, MP calls $18.

MP checks, Hero bets $36, MP calls $36.

Turn: ($127) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP checks, Hero checks.

River: ($127) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP bets $52, Hero???

I'm never folding but can I shove him in for value? he only has like $90 or so. also comments on the turn check would be greatly appreciated as well.

shove.

90$ is almost half a buyin. If he had something like 30$ behind I think shoving is OK because it would be hard for him to get away from QQ or AT type hands.
I think I call here because I dont see him calling a shove w/ worse.

for those that say push, what hand calls the push AND!! we beat. I call and expect to see Jx here almost always.

Shoving seems fine

Alobar · #7 10-09-2007, 03:45 PM

how can shoving possibly be good? what worse hands is a total unknown calling with?

also I dont get the turn check if you are going to shove river. Isnt the point of the turn check to keep the pot small, and induce some value on the river from worse hands? If you think hes got some kind of PP this turn card isnt going to make him not call, so why not just bet it?
