AGame i'm pretty sure you are in the minority with that mindset. If I were in OP's spot and looked down at TT, I'd be ecstatic and ready to double up.

Ok obviously being dealt TT is better than being dealt 72 that was me exaggerating the point that people tend to fold somewhat playable hands after they win big pots to kinda "catch their breath." I know even I am guilty of folding hands I would've otherwise opened with had I not played the hand directly before, and it's not even like it's a bad thing. It all just boils down to the fact that reraising for a 2nd time in a row is like never a bluff which is why I prefer flatting. But as I said, rr/call is ok too, I just don't think it's optimal.

1. call to take a flop or induce a squeeze

2. all in
3. 3 bet and call a shove









4. 3 bet and fold to a shove


I think you play well postflop, so I like calling and playing some pokahs.

[Hattifnatt]

if you think theres a big chance someone will squeeze with a junky hand and you are comfortable calling that, just calling is fine, otherwise just push yourself.

I think the chance of a light squeeze is very very marginal and if they do they may even 3bet fold squeeze as bad as we know it is on the tv/money bubble I see them being way too tight.

I agree/toto probably isn't calling a shove with worse and I hate 3 betting 1/3 of my stack and then figuring out what to do on a KJx flop, so I call etc.

serge the more I think about him he may even fold AK/JJ to a shove from jon in this spot and jon told me he was playing like 60/40 and getting laggier on this bubble. So basically this could become a +EV shove not for relative strength but just how much they fold as well as those behind us only calling with QQ+ or even KK+ fearing they are either fliping or behind with QQ.

Toto is not known for making big, or even medium, or even small laydowns. I would shove here. I don't think there's a chance in hell he would fold 99 or 88 or AJ+ here. 3bet/calling will probably get you to the same spot.

well if he folds AK/JJ it's definitely a snap shove...
