Shove all day pf. The two shorties are not terribly short and certainly not guaranteed to bust in the few hands or anything.

I think we are well ahead of his range and still have fold equity with our stack size.

Little John, mind if I ask why? This seems kind of counter intuitive to me since I would expect him to fold much more if he raises to 600.

I would expect that this is due to stack sizes. If villain raises to 600 there is more room to call and see a flop with enough stack behind us.

By villain raising to 800. If we call we do not have enough behind after making the call for the call to be correct. So it becomes a shove.

Well I shoved and he snap-called with 55, which pretty much means shoving is terrible here. I knew it was probably bad when I did it but was very surprised just how bad it was in Wiz.
