Hi guys!

UTG is 21/0 after 20 hands, has limped 25% hands in EP and MP

I guess its shove time???

Grabbed by Holdem Manager
NL Holdem $200(BB) Poker Stars
SB ($14,830)
BB ($7,020)
UTG ($4,125)
UTG+1 ($7,920)
UTG+2 ($3,450)
MP1 ($3,455)
MP2 ($10,925)
CO ($2,625)
Hero ($4,280)

Dealt to Hero A

UTG calls $200, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $4,260 (AI), fold, fold, fold

Hero wins $880

Why shove? Why not raise?

You mean (?):

1) raise/fold if he comes over the top? (he hasnt done any 3b or 4bets before, btw)

2) raise and if he calls evaluate the flop?

> thus not risking our whole stack?

by shoving we have more FE, but we can run into monster sometimes yeah, thats why I mentioned he used to limp a lot (thought its only 12 hand sample)

Fold, then he mostly did limp a monster!
