Deep in mtt wierd river spot

jams88

Cash bubble has burst only 8 players left i think. Stadard button raise. What do we think of flop adn turn sizing set up to shove river do we think this is a blocker bet and shove anyway? Flatting just seems wrong but the bet confused me

My image maybe pretty loose was stacked up got it in good against a similar stack, lost down to not much been shove alot since then have tightened up abit now have comfortable chip stack not sure if table has realised that or not yet though.

Looks like a blocker bet to me.  Highly unlikely he has the heart flush or set, most likely a weak Ace or (really poor) attempt at taking it down with a busted club draw.

Think your turn bet size is good and shove is fine on river given stacks.

looks like a busted club draw for sure, im shipping the river all day every day.

Thought it was standard. He showed up with ah7h started to 2nd guess whether i played the hand wrong or not

percival09

yeah I like the shove

grantorino

Why ship v busted clubs? Call=ship v busted clubs so depends what else he has

I prob call v that line. Likely air or has you beat

 I like bigger bets on flop and turn to set up river shove

Edit: didn't realise he donked so small, makes it tougher. Meh think I still call

This is where i disagree, not because of the result, because i had already said "flat" before i saw the result.

Some people take very wierd lines on Sky and this just looks like the nuts or nothing to me, so no real value in the shove imo.  I am also risk adverse (bd flush got there and we dont always have the best 2 pair either)

So just flat it

P.S I also wrote this before GT!
