  2. Insta-ship, 100% of the time.
  3. You can raise 10k hoping to induce something, or to look scary and fold out better hands. I'm always getting it in here regardless.
  4. yes
     
  5. alright thanks guys!

    I did ship it all in and got called by AJo he hit a jack on the river, but I just wanted to make sure my play was correct. I figured I was too shallow to play this any other way.

  6. Well, you got it in ahead, so what more can you really ask for.

    I'm not sure what a 10k reraise would do in this spot... if someone shoves over you, you're committed and not really in a spot to lay it down. Plus your shove and still a big stack to call will deter people from shoving with strong but not elite hands.
  7. definately an insta shove. or a fold, but i doubt im ever folding there. Like 100% of the time im shoving in that situation given your chip stack and the raise in front.

    No way would i rr him to 10k. It would allow him to see a flop, and if he binked his A or J you are pot commited and would have to call imo. Or he would check to you as a trap and hope you shove. So just shove pre like you did. gg
