  2. Easy shove. You have <20bbs, are up against a laggy player that is second in chips and is likely raising a very wide range.

    Flatting here would be awful. You'd commit 1/6 of your stack in a likely 3-way pot and would need to hit the flop in order to continue.

    You made the right play. Unlucky that you lost the flip.
  3. Folding is bad obviously.

    Flatting is bad because you'll be out of position vs an aggressive player and you'll miss the flop more often than hit so by flatting you're going to be check/folding most flops.

    With your stack size shoving is the clear winner, but I have a feeling you already know this and the only reason you are second guessing calling or folding is cause you lost. Focus less on the results and you'll win more.
  4. In the future..........plz don't post results in Original Post.

    As results dont' matter for 1 certain situation.

    AQ is a must shove in this spot and don't think different because you lost the flip.

    On an unrelated topic, good shove sir.
     
  12. Jam is good, not a huge fan of that guy's call if you haven't gotten out of line. You can try raising to like 60-70k to look even stronger as well, but then lol if you somehow get flatted...
  13. The only other way to play this might be to three bet him pre with the intent of calling his reshove, or in that odd case he flats, shoving any flop. I think that might make your hand look a bit stronger, but either way hard to imagine how all the chips aren't going in with these hands.
  14. Sorry but the 3 bet lines are horrible advice vs this type of player.

    Just get it in and ignore the results oriented lines/ideas. Your stack size + read makes it mandatory and trumps everything else.
  15. shove good.

    result bad.
  16. id be jammin for sure , u have 20bbs u dont have any options but fold or jam and since he has been aggro good chance u might not even get called and if ur called doesnt mean u have to be in horrible shape to chipup, u got to jam and hope u can win the flip here, gl
     
  17. shove every time

    and that's coming from a former appstate student, so i gotta be right

    Lol touche to you sir.
    I guess my concern is where is this a solid shove and where do I need to instead make a 3-bet? (ie how many bb's would i need for a 3-bet? like 25 or more like 30)
