Probably a basic question I should know the answer to, but why is raising to 2K w/ intention to call a shove better than shoving? Are you expecting AQ and less to shove, or are you hoping to get some calls from those hands? My standard is to shove, to occasionally fold the TT or AK that doesn't like calling 6000 more hoping to flip a coin.

what do you 4bet to when youre 150bb deep? 200bb deep? shoving in both situations is kinda gross with a hand like AK. do you just make a standard 4b there?

magicninja,

i understand what you're saying, but i tend to not 4b much when i have position. id like 4betting more if say i opened CO and button raised when i had AK/AQ, QQ+/whatever. its probably just a difference in playing style, though its possible im playing suboptimally.
