Default Stupid preflop, Final table hand - he coldcalled 25% of his stack

and he hasn't seemed like a retard.

22+1r+1a

The whole final two tables have been shoves and reshoves; I don't think there had been a single coldcall.

What are you shoving?

If MP is not a retard, you have no FE against him, so act accordingly.

i've seen mp reshove in button/blinds spots two or three times in maybe 50 hands, only hand shown was a big ace, AJ i think.

Original raiser has a standard wide-ish five handed opening range, although reraises were frequent enough that raise/fold was likely not profitable in his spot.

I was in this exact spot at a 3K WSOP event. UTG raise, LP call for about 30% of stack from guy who had otherwise exhibited stellar short stack play and had been all-in pre quite a bit. I looked down at QQ in the BB, said to myself, OMG that guy who keeps shoving just called 30% of his stack. I couldn't bring myself not to shove, so I did. UTG shoves, 30% caller folds. UTG turns over AA, river is a Q. I said to caller, "I was worried you had aces", he said, "That's what I was trying to represent."

I shove QQ+ and probably JJ/AK if table plays right. And since its 5 handed with your 10BB stack, I probably would refuse to see monsters.

of course I snap shoved 99 b/c as soon as I saw my hand I was like allinallinallin and I didn't pay enough attention to the action.

Big stack BB reshoved QQ, coldcaller had AA. Q on the turn and a rivered flush for me and AA.
