LegoPoker Hand History Converter

MP1: 1,515
MP2: 1,940
CO: 915
BTN: 1,500
amcdonald (SB): 1,990
BB: 1,155
UTG: 2,835
UTG+1: 2,080

Pre-Flop: (150) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] dealt to amcdonald (SB)
4 folds, <font color="red">MP2 raises to 200</font>, 2 folds, <font color="red">amcdonald raises to 1,990 and is All-In</font>, BB folds, MP2 calls 1,740 and is All-In

Flop: (3,980) 7 T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J

Turn: (3,980) 7 T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [ K ]

River: (3,980) 7 T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J K [ J ]

This is about halfway through the tourney, and
MP2 has been lag for a while..
Is there a better way to play this?

Insta pushing then screaming hold is about all you can do here.

I don't mind raising to 600 pre and calling if he shoves or else shoving any flop.

but assuming my read is right and he's not holding AA/KK,
don't i want to get it all in if he's got an overcard at best? that is if I'm calling/shoving any flop..

I like a go and go here like mflip said. I would raise to 600 maybe 800ish. Then push flop.

I often shove in these spots but you should probably go and go since it gets value out of hands which call the raise &amp; fold the flop, but fold to a shove.
