deanp27:
would you not jam or fold pre? what are your thoughts when you raise 30% of your stack, plan???

as played its meh cos he rarely has worse and you are likely dominated, i probably fold and turn into the shove monkey i should have been in the first place.

what is his range here when he puts a strong looking 3bet in against an utg raiser - has AJ crushed if he is competent

mal666:
Wind up?

antthecat:
shove and just get lucky, your pot commited imo as you cant play 700 in that situation(well i cant as i like to have a lot of chips in front of me), go on get it in there

lukybugur:
This was born from me doing one thing, and Leigh (on the rail) thinking it was a terrible option. One of us thought that with 300 in the pot, I"m pot committed and HAD to shove even tho I was racing at best - and one of us thought that with 700 chips I COULD survive still have chances to double up / make the money.
