($6) AJo 6 handed, bb t150

[l0gician]

BB is 38/27 out of35 hands. Should I just b/f here? My move looks really stupid with the stack sizes, but CO and MP were pretty short so I figured he wouldn't want to gamble.

Pretty much an unexploitable shove. Even if he's calling this wide: 22+,A2s+,A3o+,KTs+,KJo+,QJs which is probably being pretty generous it's still +ev. I'd mix between shoving and raising 375 (so I can set up future juicing hands from SB like AA where I wouldn't want to raise like 15BB or whatever, as to not make a 2.5x/3x raise look suspicious, I guess this is more metagame). I think either is fine.

For me, BvB, SB open-shove is automatic w ATC under 15BB. With 18 and AJo, it's a pretty easy play.

bvb w/ 15 BB ATC is probably very loose and -ev vs a lot of calling ranges. I usually only do ATC w/ like 12 BB or less vs tight opponents and vs loose ones I will probably shove like 76o+ at 10 BB or less.

I wouldn't b/f this guy, I'd b/c. Seems like overkill to shove though. You could do just about anything vs this guy and have it be profitable, limp/shove could work.

With stats like that I am guessing he probably does like to gamble. If you discover some how he is a shark then push otherwise he is going to call you with crap like K5s.

sharks are not going to call as light as k5s or anywhere near that loose for that matter.

Yeah sorry the last sentence of my post isn't that well phrased. What I meant is: if the hero suspects the villain is some kind of brilliant player who manages to play successfully with stats like that, then he should push allin. Alternately, or more likely, the other player is not a shark and he is going to call you with a very wide range of hands. Up against the top 60% of hands AJ is only going to be a 60% favorite.

why not a raise to 600?
