  2. The only thing I worry about is your position. I like the shove vs eman who has a HUGE range here since he is raising constantly. However, you might run into a monster around back, you are dominated by AK, AQ, AJ and way behind JJ's or better.

    that being said, I like the shove.
  3. I love how he's drawing almost dead after that flop hit. Priceless. Absolutely good shove. Went with your read, was correct (and nice to see domination), and like you said, you're not playing for 7th. I'm curious if he was raising 5x the bb consistently?
     
  4. nice shove since his range is ATC's...
