I felt like it would just be too weak to fold on the flop when I have good equity. At these levels though I'm mostly expecting one pair type hands that are happy to take the money down, hence the pot sized bet. So I figure my flush draw to be good at the very least and unless villain has a weird 2 pair then my Q and J could also be live. Tx, 6x or 77-99 would make up a decent range of a weaker players pot-donking range IMO, so with £5.24 to win a pot of £13,18 (on the assumption that xxx will fold if I shove) seemed fair?
Ha thanks for the response Borin - in truth, I try to avoid that level of detail in clinic posts in an effort to garner some more useful responses than TL:DR
Can't honestly remember who the rec was now, but if I'm doing this then I'd assume it was the sort that plays fit-or-fold, so I'm getting extra value into the pot with a hand which is likely to be ahead of a large part of his range - can take the pot down with a 1/2 pot cbet plus have good equity a lot of time post flop with overs, straight and flush draws.
Mid-strength I'm including lower pairs, any two broadway, suited connectors / gap connectors and suited aces. Appreciate I am actually (marginally) behind at least two of those groups, but as noted above I expect to get lots of folds versus the last two categories and will have plenty of outs / scare cards to semi bluff post-flop.
When they are the sort that donk a piece of things and you have position (ie can cbet when checked to), trying to get more value pre / isoing seems like a good plan.
As for the reg - weak-tight like majority (inc me) at this level. Wouldn't be calling the open with their strong holdings and won't be likely to want to play bloated pots OOP to another WT reg with much of their range. Not surprised by a fold.
Post flop is fine, but I actually think calling will be the higher EV play, simply because when we get it in we're going to be against a bigger fd which is awful for our equity. We also have a lot of turn cards that are give us more equity, 8,9, J,Q, K, A etc, but with the size of the pot and our equity, shoving isn't really a mistake.
edit: I have just seen that the fun player is shallow, which makes shoving much better
