UTG+2 checks, MP2 checks, Hero pushes 710.


I was gonna throw a bet of like 250 out there, then I thought that if I'm called by only one player, there's 800 in the pot and I have 500 behind, so a shove gives a caller 2.6-1. Not the best, but I'll take it (or give it, I suppose). But if I'm called by 2 players now there's 1050 in the pot and I'm giving em 3-1 on the call. I don't want to do that...in case anyone's drawing, I can shove here and make them make a huge mistake by calling.

Should I be overbet shoving stuff like this more often?

it definitely isnt bad. i think you get looked up by QJ and the like very often here, which is dynamite. theres no real poker left to be played on the turn regardless, so you may as well get it in there with a donkpush when it a) has a good chance of getting called and b) the hands it does get called by are likely not draws, but likely WB hands. wreeeeeee.

Yeah that was my other thought. "Man I hope he calls me with KQ or AT."

Looks good to me, of course I don't play AQ in level 1 that much.

Yeah. You probably take down the pot right there pretty often.
