Default NLTRN - Very weak cbet against all-in status shortie

He has been very passive player but he has reached that point where he likes to shove. I assume he has reached a point where he feels a little more comfortable (stack-wise) because he has been limping hands lately. His preflop call here preflop I assume is weak.

Full Tilt Poker Game #3807741321: $55 + $2.50 Heads Up Sit &
Go (29002375), Table 1 - 20/40 - No Limit Hold'em - 21:49:14 ET - 2007/10/09
Seat 1: sponce257 (470)
Seat 2: xSCWx (2,530)

xSCWx posts the small blind of 20
sponce257 posts the big blind of 40
The button is in seat #2

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to xSCWx [A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]]
xSCWx raises to 120
sponce257 calls 80

*** FLOP *** [7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]]
sponce257 checks
xSCWx bets 90

---

My thinking is that regardless of if I do 90 or 160, he has to dedicate his whole stack in order to play the hand.

Is there anything better to do?

I hate this situation, and I don't know what else you could do. With so much paint on the board, I would rather check it down. I wouldn't give him credit for bluffing right now, and I wouldn't want to see him with more chips.

I'd rather shove preflop than play this hand. It's got good shoveablity (word?), but little playability. I would also try to check this down.

I disagree with shoving. Sounds like the villain is going to fold trouble hands anyways, no point getting the worst of it with all the chips in the middle.

Are you folding if he shoves over your pf raise? If not, I prefer just shoving.

WTF, minraise PF if anything. 3x raise here is horrible unless you have some aggressive plans and some good reads.

I intended to call a shove, but I think he has a wider range shoving over my bet than he does calling my shove.

I don't think this is true, since he should know he has no FE here. If he'll see more strength in a shove than a normal raise, then I guess so. Most people won't, though.

I'm pretty sure he has no idea what fold equity is. I think the fact that he is making a "shove" instead of a "call" broadens his range.

In that case, it's alright. I assumed a 55er would be better than that [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

Keep in mind I'm used to FR SNGs, so my instinct is to shove the [censored] out of everything when I'm in the SB. So I'm probably a bit too aggressive here.
