Why let em all in so cheap, cuz if they call with a FD/SD, you certainly can't complain or call em donks when they spike it on the turn.
I like the just under 90 bet, like say 86 or 87, givin em just about 2.5-1 on their money. Bad call for them, but it seems "cheaper," cuz it's below the 90/100 psychological pain threshold. Then hem, haw, and shove it on the turn. Then drag a huge pot and say, "Duh, WINNING."
If they have a fd or sd, they have the odds to call any bet OTF, but not OTT, so the way to play against them is to shove OTT, not OTF.
On this hand, I am allin. The question at this point is how large can I get the pot? Several people calling $22 is a pretty good start. I still like the probe bet. Also if I don't probe bet here, then every time I do probe bet everyone will know I have second or third pair.
