    Ok heres the hand history, BB seems quite solid and reg at these limits, but capable of moves. cutoff is a bit of a loose gambler, nothing really to worry about.

    <pre>pokerstars Game #39505359795: Hold'em No Limit ($5/$10 USD) - 2010/02/10 1:18:25 WET [2010/02/09 20:18:25 ET]
    Table 'Meissa III' 6-max Seat #2 is the button
    Seat 1: mr2047 ($612.50 in chips)
    Seat 2: 1Bunn ($160 in chips)
    Seat 3: SaDuke ($373 in chips)
    Seat 4: AndrewBoccia ($1015 in chips)
    Seat 5: WizardOfAhhs ($185 in chips)
    SaDuke: posts small blind $5
    AndrewBoccia: posts big blind $10
    BeachJustice: sits out
    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to SaDuke [8c 8h]
    WizardOfAhhs: folds
    mr2047: calls $10
    1Bunn: folds
    SaDuke: raises $30 to $40
    AndrewBoccia: raises $90 to $130
    mr2047: calls $120
    </pre>

    Now based off the previous information, the +EV move would be to shove in this spot? Or to be nitty and fold?

    Thoughts please

    With no fold equity I would think a fold would be in order.

    Well I prefer short stacking at this limit and just table select, am aware that its not 'pure' poker but its what I'm comfortable with.

    I personally am leaning towards a shove as I feel in hindsight that this could have been done with a wider range of hands by Andrew as AK AQ AJ fits his ranges quite well, not to mention the probable dead money of mr2047

    Your goal is to coin flip, right? This isn't a coin flip. The solid regular knows you are only raising with showdown-able hands, and is probably hoping you react by shoving. I don't see these guys playing much less than QQ like that in my experience.
