Default Re: Villain open shove flops in 3bet pot

Andy, there are no standard lines. When an unknown opponent pushes this big, and the pot is relatively small compared to the bet size, you must think. It's important to play situations like this individually, not by rote. If he had only $50 behind and pushed, it's a call. If he's a known maniac, it's a call. Most of the posters in this thread will be losers for life at poker, that's just a stat. A few may be significant winners. Regardless, the "snap call" advice with no rationale is just wrong (and dumb). The call based on the odds in similar situations is more reasonable, but still flawed, since every situation is different. Personally, the hand you posted is not a particularly great gambling opportunity in my mind.
