  1. Villain has been raising the blinds when given an opportunity, so when I was dealt my cards I had planned on shoving if it came down to blind vs. blind. Obv I didn't have enough to get him off of his hand, but I was hoping to push in this spot with the best hand. Would you have picked a better spot or was I just unlucky that he was holding a monster on the SB?

    And villain knows this too - no matter what he has he is committing to the your push. So he should not be raising all that light.

    Having said that, its a tough spot. Here's pokerstove for your hand vs. range of 22+ and broadway cards. Since you have no FE, this would actually be a fold....

    Villain: { 22+, ATs+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, ATo+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo } 58.353%

    Hero: { Ac4h } 41.647%
