Default Re: FT Bubble - Good or Bad?

Pre-flop the pot is 20k, and your stack is 66k. I think most of the time I'm shoving this pre-flop.

On the flop you have overs and a lovely flush draw. I'm shoving this as well. I want to maximize my FE: if you go for the CR, UTG will often have odds to call, and I don't want that. Let me 'splain, cause I made this mistake a couple of times before woodguy straightened me out:

If you shove on the flop, villain has to call 66k into a pot worth only 86k; a tough call to make if he doesn't have a made hand. If you go for the check-raise, when the pot gets to you, it is 43k; your shove takes it up to around 109k, and the villain only has to call 54k, which gives him odds just a tad better than 2:1. So unless he's got a handful of air if he's coming along, which is bad.

Happy to be corrected, but I think shoving earlier is better.
