Shudders at this thought. I knew better.

Shoving seems ok, one of them will probably fold and there's already 1425 when the actions on you so you're getting 2:1 woop woop!

Hmm I think I like shoving with all that dead money in the pot, though I think it is probably fine playing it either way.

chuckpalms04 · #7 07-27-2007, 02:12 AM

the only problem i have with shoving is that MP is definitely not folding, and once he does c/o only has to call another 900 t3800+ pot and i don't think donkeys fold when they see the size of a pot get big and they've already got a few chips invested, which means we're either going to have to hit a card to win the hand or dodge a bunch of cards, making neither situation that desirable for me..

I think you have not quite enough chips to fold both out.

I'm guessing from the way you set this up that you pushed, raiser folded and villain called.

Villain showed you 77 and it held up?

That is a perfect example of why shoving is great here. Getting into a flipping situation with the huge amount of dead money in the pot is a really good spot to take.
