    Not really a great shove, your usually only going to get called by hands that are beating you or AK that your racing with. But then your stack doesn't allow you much room to 3bet without commiting yourself, so your in quite a difficult spot. Just unlucky that the 7 has come when you had your opponent crushed, but hardly anyone is calling you unless they have you crush tbh. A question first...is there a reason why your only sat with half of the max buy-in for the table?

    You played it fine with your stack. - sit with 100xbb though.....

    Surprised RTC didn't stack off with his 5-9 suited........must've mis-clicked.

    To start with I didn't like the shove, but now I look at it more its a good move considering your stack

    The guy has made a redic sized bet pre of 7x which just says im not folding this hand, so yes with your 50 blinds I think shove it in and make yourself look desperate for him to fold.

    Agree with all other comments, sit with the maximum and you will not have this problem.

    lol why is everyone so reluctant to get the money in here?

    even if I'm sat with 100bbs I still plan to stack off readless.

    standard shove. nh
