Can TPTK be good here?
AMRN:
To be clear, calling was never a consideration.... it was shove or fold.

I folded, and I agree that without more info, I have to assume that I"m behind.... I need a very good read to be able to proceed and to commit my stack in this spot, but I don"t have that read.
My question was more about whether I could expand his range to include bluffy squeezes because the other guy had flat called on the button.... does that call open things up for Tanka to be able to apply the squeeze..... and if so, does that make it more or less reasonable for me to proceed with TPTK?

I think you have answered your own question there Steve.
No, u cant expand his range realistically to include bluff squeeze because as u stated above, u don"t have a read. Always ere on the side of straightforward lines, especially at 10-25c until proved otherwise. Yes this spot might have potential, but so be it, let him have it...he either has u crushed most of the time, and the times he doesn"t he may still have reasonable equity...

I"ve played over 200k hands of 25nl zoom full ring profitably. IMO you are pretty much always behind here, as these games play fairly nitty. When I started playing zoom I found myself stacking off regularly with TPTK, as players almost always had sets or 2 pair hands when raising flops. I actually experimented a little with bluff raising flops vs cbets to rep such hands as I felt it would be easy to exploit players who were folding TPTK to a flop raise. These games are easy to make a profit in by playing fairly standard so no need to take too many marginal spots. For most of the 200k hands I was buying in for 50bbs instead of 100bbs. The reason being, I felt that more players were willing to stack off for 50bb lighter in spots like this. I am a big fan of min raise opening the button with a wider range than normal. Its prob +ev to open button for 100% of your range, but I kept it to about 75%

Shove and reload if by some minor miracle you fail to win the hand. Remember, you are Steve Redfern, so even if you find out you are behind, you will hit.

Fair point from Leigh TBH, even after all the analysis ;D
