  1. in this situation could you make a case for stars shark to raise to 450 instead of shoving? he has +10 bb's and if a REALLY bad flop comes up like that he could get away from it. i dunno maybe he played the hand correctly in shoving im just wondering if there's an alternative way to play the hand.

  2. i dont think that it was a horrible push. 10 or 11x im all for the push or fold ... pick your spot and go with it. if im troy i dont know if i want to put my stack on the line with k 10 off however.
