UTG calls, hero misses and UTG reveals 55/77. Is that what the spoiler says? I am going to read it now....

I'm not a fan of the shove here (although I haven't clicked the spolier button). You are not going to get called by anything except a flush or maybe AK. KK can't be in UTG range as he limped initially.

I don't see the shove as being a winning play, although it may work when you opponent doesn't have the flush. You are going to win the $250 pot, but will lose a $1050 pot if he has the flush/AK/set.

With a villian that is playing aggressively with marginal hands, you can't take a hand like 6h7h (or any two hearts) out of his range; this is a losing play.

Just read the spoiler...

I'm somewhat surprised AK called here, but I have seen more amateur moves than that in my experience with LLSNL. Pick a better spot to make you shove, the pot just wasn't big enough IMO to justify the shove/steal here.

next hand i look at, an overbet shove.

[ ] shocked

i think i need to just go nut peddle and check to you guys.

what range do you really rep here when you shove. if you have Axhh, against a known bluffer, whom you just cold called his raise post flop and now got a check on the turn, are you really SHOVING the nuts here.

(by his call i guess we should but i doubt anyone here does it in practice, and for good reason you dont)

Fold flop, calling is spew

As played, bet turn for 1/2 pot if you want to rep the nut flush. When you over bet shove your hand looks like not the nuts :-)

Call flop no good.

And when hand planning make sure your villain can fold top pair at least once a year.

This play would have been good vs a more conservative player. From your description, villain has little clue about relative hand strength, and is overall spewy. I think you get called a lot here. Against some old nit, I like this play.
