I think you should call and fold to any flop with overcards in it.

Just kidding. I do think you should get it in, though. You’re probably running about even against UTGs raising range, and the blinds and antes are adding a good amount of extra money. Those just aren’t the type of shots you can pass up with a 10BB stack.

What actually happened: You raised and the rest of the table folded to UTG, who called with 88. Your hand held and you won the pot.

If u call the raise u might as well push and go all in because to call is about hapf your stack anways.

This is the simplest hand I’ve seen on here, there’s surely no other option but to shove

M of 4, dwindling stack, easy shove. 99 is more than good enough; I’d probably shove with 66+.

Not much thought here … easy shove especially given the active v.

Lol, good one staff, you had me for a moment with your joke answer ;)

With villain being agressive, presumably also active from early position a lot, I think this is a gamble that is necessary. All in with it!

However, in a game without antes and against a nittish villain, this could be a fold.

I put a lot on the read of the v is this sitch. I shove. Since I’m read as tight, I’m hoping no one else joins in.
