  1. Opinion on this hand please... Player is not actively raising aggressively preflop or making many moves. My line on this was to check call flop to extract further value and then reevaluate on the turn based on their play. Should I have simply shoved flop and hope for a call?

  2. I probably shove pre-flop, starting the hand with 16 BB.

    On a fairly wet board, the only reason to check the flop is to check-raise.
     
  3. shove pre, check/shove flop, ul gg.
