Default huge pot with nuts... call or shove?

Ok, Is it better to call here and try to get third villain to come in too, or just shove, b/c if hes going to call a coldcall hes going to call my shove.... right? I have really mixed feelings about this spot........ villain is a huge monkey.... ill post a hand proving this, and then post the hand being considered.........

I agree with this. I can't think of any hand he is calling utg's raise with that hes not calling yours.

I shove here as well, he only has to call ~40% as often as he calls SB's push for it to be neutral ev.

well i guess the argument for not shoving is that if I shove over the top it looks nutish, and if i just call, maybe he can still call with a set hoping to beat both villains........

I think a shove looks about the same strength as a call, since (1)you are calling two people and (2)a call seems to want action.

SHOVE IT IN! You have to ask yourself: "How often do I get the chance to sit in $50NL with $380?"

WOW
I guess the next question is How many buy-ins do you dust off in a week to keep you from moving up to 100NL?

Is it me? or is that 1st hand history results screwed up?

anyway I see everyone says shove, I am actually tempted to call here if you shove you are making it about another $130 for Sb to call, he may only call you with Q8, I think your making it too easy for him to fold, he's hardly pot committed.........

Raise turn. As played, shove river.

i play nl100 and nl200 with some frequency, albeit less tables than nl50.... i could play 400nl if i could get access to my neteller $, but I don't think I am good enough to beat that game at this point in time.... also, I seem to run really bad at nl100 so i prefer to play nl200 over nl100, but i don't like playing super long sessions at much higher levels, so anytime im going to play a 12 hour session i just 8-12 table nl50 b/c i don't tilt as much when i get screwed in a big pot..... hence the reasons i get stacks up to 500 sometimes.... i dont play nearly as high variance as I used to, but my winrates are about the same, and seriously, if you need to make more than 50 an hour, you've got problems.
