I'd shove river, I think the BB shoves himself if he has any better hand than us, and I think BTN raises any better hand than us cos BB (and you) have so little behind and he won't be expecting you to be strong enough to shove behind very often
Then again I'm not a cash man
The fact that the big blind called all the way then suddenly leads out on the river... that looks so like he must have improved and then chose a bet amount that meant likely to get at least 1 caller, possibly all 3 call / get a raise.
Maybe I'm missing a trick here, but I'd suggest their weakest holding would be a 3x hand (prob A3) that thinks trips is good vs J9/JT/9T hands or has called with suited cards and hit a higher flush (more likely IMO). I suppose if BB is particularly loose then a FH may be an option, but I think the flush is much more likely.
On that basis I'm not sure shoving seems a great idea and I'd definitely flat in this spot.
If the original raiser (CO) was the one betting the river like this I'd feel better about my hand and may give more consideration to shoving. Agree that BU calling down suggests they may well be sat with TP/2P sort of hand and not scared of them calling...
As played flop + turn are fine. At these stakes I think BB is gonna feel he is committed with any pair now so just jam river for value.
Pre flop is obviously loose but wanted to know whether a shove on the river is the optimum play.
As the hand has been played out I wouldn't worry too much about this. I would guess at this level most players would have raised somewhere along the line here if they had strong hand such as a set.
The small bets make calling with a wide range of hands here more likely.
What do other people think about leading here? We may be missing out on value if players have the sorts of hands that it turns out they had. Lots of players at this level will call a good sized bet with a TP 2P type hand. FWIW I would sigh call a shove due to stack sizes.
