I think this is a fold -- I'd expect to be crushed or flipping most of the time, I don't think he's show up with JT a whole lot.

shove w t f

[Prevaricator]

i turbo shove lol. if you had 10k deep it would be a tougher spot.

if he had the nuts, reload.

[El Diablo]

jc,

Def shove.

Also, you totally would have made the best hand and won the first pot.
