Hey guys I shoved this and the BB called and I was like



But anyway I have been shovin a decent amount so far, but I figured SB wouldn't necessarily call super loose as he was not committed (and even if he does and we lose we are still in it), and BB was a reg (whether decent or not I'm not sure, but 16/11 over 2k hands) and I thought prob understood ICM, so given the stack set up I figured I'd try to steal some chips. Plus our hand is sooo pretty. Wonder what you guys think. Too loose?

If BB is solid and you know that for a fact, go for it. if you *think* he's solid, then it's harder. if rando, easy fold unless he's the nittiest guy ever. also, kinda the sb too but not as important.

Agree w/ glitr. Plus they're suited, and hearts. So much prettier.

I'd say on those stats the shove's fine. Though I think I still fold due to stack arrangement.

Shoving looks really good here, once you have more chips than the other large stack you can pretty much go crazy and pwn this bubble. e.g. look at the very next hand if you steal here, it's becomes an ATC CO shove.

Oh and here's a bonus tip for how to play J9s, from a hand earlier today...
