    love this spot, ezy shove, not too worried about anybeth tbh, short-stackers are generally fish (there are exceptions to the good ones with solid strategies ovc) your going too see jj, 1010, QQ, AQ etc its kinda a tempting squeeze spot for the shortie too, so range can be wider.

    Should of said, concerned with the sb not the shover
    Only played andybeth a few times but seem to remember him/her being ok
    Obviously calling the shove, but it's either shove or fold

    ie cant really see anyone flat with AA, KK, also we have blockers, this is a reason alone just to shove, ovb something bothered you with this hand or you would not be posting, but out of all the interesting hand you post on here (no sarcasm intended lolz) this is the most STANDARD in my eyes, and im am like super tight, no drama no head ache just get it in.

    I just really dithered over this, just want to see what people think
    Do we say sb is weak or strong - is it just position that dictates the play and also the short stack is really not even in the hand

    Suppose my reaction to the spot at the time bothered me more than what I actually done

    Wow I fold your flipping at best but highly doubt you are. Is this a shove because of the level your playing at? The original raiser can surely only hold AK AA KK QQ JJ maybe TT here and your behind to all of them but one and his AK might be suited :) and then your probably taking AK three way i can't see sb folding after flatting in the small blind out of posistion i would put him/her on a strong hand.

    5x raise UTG followed by BIG 3bet and andy just flats from SB surely he has to have like KK+ ?

    Plus first raiser still shoves over the top, although I think you can beat his range, andy I doubt you can.

    It probably is AA, expecting half stacker to jam after 5xing

    And the fact the hand's been posted :P

    I think he would shove or fold AK and QQ depending on his reads on you.

    So AA/KK only imo.

    Lets cut to the chase, so I read AA/KK can't see why oppo would flat any other hand
    But had to shove incase oppo does flat hands that fold to my shove that I would be racing against

    I dither because i WANT to fold, hate this spot !

    Should I fold this spot ? Do I have to be nit to fold, even if I call it AA/KK in game

    KK+ only? If he cold 4bet everyone would say his range was KK+ as well

    He should have enough worse hands in his range to make shoving fine imo, given we have blockers. He may also fold some hands we flip with. Folding is levelling yourself without really good reads imo

    ForTheRecord did not twig that the bets were as big for some reason lol, maybie not soo standard, andy beth has cold called a decent size 3-bet there for this level, i still like shove i think, its difficult not knowing these players and not "in game" but im happy to flip here.

    EDIT: just seen the hand lool UL m8, i told ya you shoulda folded....:\

    cant be too result orientated ,sometimes the right play looks bad when u hit the top of theyre range
    id shove too if its unknown opponenets on 20nl
    as said above folding is levelling yourself
