if he's a moron, don't you think he'll also call your shove weak? I think I'd need a better hand here, at least like 66/AJ maybe...

Horrible move because he's a big stack and he is a moron who is probably going to call you. He's raise might be weak but you have a bad hand also.

Interesting move. I dont have the cojones for it but the longer i think about it the more i like this move.

He has good pot odds and hes a moron so hell call you and he has a better hand, bluffing bad players doesn't work good for me usually.

Since he is a moron I have huge expectations that he will fold to a push.

I would think very much the opposite. I think this is extremely -EV.

I doubt he got 4600 chips by level 4 by folding to pushes ...
