So I'm exiting the tournament area at my local casino when I overhear a bustout conversation between a couple acquaintances. Friend A had re-raised all in with KQ over someone's standard late position open. He called it "re-shoving." Friend B said that it wasn't a re-shove. An argument ensued. So I butted in and told friend A that friend B is correct.
I believe the term "re-shove" can only be used when you move all in after someone else has already gone all in (usually for less). But Friend A asserts that the term can also be used when
you are the first one all in, simply shoving in response to a standard open. He was so sure about this that he proposed a bet. Friend B advised him against this. But he was adamant. In fact, he offered me 2.5:1 odds. His $100 to my $40. His overconfidence caused some second guessing, but I took those odds.
Now he's on a crusade to find the truth from other respected players. He claims that about half his friends say he's right while the other half say I'm right. And one mutually respected (highly accomplished) friend said that "re-shove" can only be used as an adjective (such as, "I had a good re-shoving stack"). So I figured, let 2+2 settle this.
Note: "Re-jam" can be used synonymously, as used to help my friend's case in
this webcast of last year's one drop final. I still say it's wrong.
