200NL Shove Semi Bluff Against Floater

Learning · #1 10-25-2007, 07:44 AM

I've been working on opening up my game a lot lately so this may be standard for some but it's new to me.

Villain has been playing a very solid LAG game. He's opening the button with about 40% of hands and we've had several 3bet pots with marginal holdings. He's very floaty, knowing that I'm 3beting his button opens lightly and fires this turn 100% of the time with any two cards when checked to. I think shoving this turn is the best play since CRAI leaves me with no fold equity whatsoever. Opinions?

I wouldnt push here, cuz it looks like you do not want to get called. Think about it, if you would have a set here, wouldn´t you bet say 100 instead of shoving?
But I def like a double-barrel here.

Yes, this is what you're supposed to do here. One thing I question though, is why you're 3betting JTs preflop OOP against this villain? He clearly seems like the type who makes playing OOP difficult and unprofitable, so I would fold preflop.

It's kind of a tricky amount to do it with as to set up a comfortable bet size on the turn you have to make too large a cbet on the flop. I think it's fine though, and it's not like it's a huge overbet
