V1 (MP): TAG Pro reg. Always plays 10/25, and is capable of making moves.
Hero (SB): TAG rec/semi-pro player. Hadn't gotten out of line.
V2 (BB): Loose Asian that isn't afraid to gii/bluff. Only hh with him is one where I raised with JTo in the CO, and he called in the BB. Flop J74ss, I lead 1/2 pot, he calls. Turn Jh, I check, he bets 2/3 pot, I call. River Ko, I check, he bets pot, I snap, and he shows Q2dd.
Action
V1 raises to $150 in MP, folds to Hero in SB who 3b to $550 with KK. V2 cold calls in BB. V1 then 4b to $2K. Hero?
Shove. Villain will have alot of value but if a solid reg might just squeeze for dead money with some AXs, in that case it would be an horrible idea to just call. If he never has AXs in his range, which you can't know, than yeah flatting is definitely superior. You can flat aces there, rip KK.
If villain gets it in with AA, so be it, but I think he will call AK. definitely won't see QQ or JJ calls I don't think. rip it in, fold his AX, get value from AK, and lose value from AA.
