Villain is 19/13 over 140 hands hasn't shown down too much garbage. Never folds to a 3b. CO plays any 2 cards from any position. I thought about jamming with 20 bb's but if I do that I fold out the bottom of his range that I'm ahead of and only get called when I'm dominated or flipping. I think the flop came out pretty good for my hand and now it's just a matter of how to get all the chips in the middle. Given that he has bottom set that was pretty easy to do. I think after the cr on the flop he's probably jamming TT+, any fd, any K. Is this reasonable thinking? Anyone just shove the pile in his face pre? Is this ever a smaller 3b/ fold to shove situation?

Seems like a pretty good spot for a 3 bet shove pre. I might just flat if the co hadn't flatted, but with his dead money in there, and the fact he flats a super wide range, its an ideal spot to shove. Of course we won't get called by worse, but as long as the raiser is opening wide enough, it doesnt really matter. We are getting folds so much and our hand has decent equity when called.

And 3b/folding preflop is never an option. Our hand is way too strong with our stack size for that.

Agreed. I thought his range may have been a little tighter from utg+1 than it turned out to be. I figured 77+ and broadways. If that was the case KQo still has 48% equity (against villains range) and is still a shove.

clear shove pre
obv never folding flop. can't really go wrong other than donking out or folding at some point

Yeh I don't hate the way I played it. My plan was to check jam on alot of flops that didn't hit me as hard. Of course in hindsight would've loved to fold out that 22 knowing that the poker gods hate me and it will always flop a set on me.

Yep, this is spot on. The reasons are quite obvious.

shove pre but flatting cant be too bad . obv gonna get it in on this flop

Against this particular villain and my perception of his range, which was off fwiw, I felt that I would have stronger fold equity as well as a bigger pot check jamming most flops. His fold to 3b was 0. Maybe a preflop 20 bb shove folds out the 22 and even if it didn't I'd be pretty content when he flips it over after calling. So shoving is optimal preflop.

That said, my entire thought process for flatting, which I do think has some merit, went something like this:

He has alot of hands that I dominate in his range (I think a shove folds most of those out)
He has alot of pairs that I'm flipping with in his range (I don't think a shove folds any of these out)
He has some hands that dominate mine (certainly never folding these to a shove)

If the flop had come giving me lets say a gutshot and 2 overs I check, he fires out his 1/2 pot cb (80% likely and standard for this player), I then jam. I think he folds all of his non paired hands (even the ones that dominated me preflop unless they also picked up a draw). I think his smaller pairs now go in the muck as well. If the flop comes ideally for me giving me top pair or better I milk value out of his lower pairs and unpaired hands maybe inducing a shove with a smaller cr. This thought process also assumes that CO folded to the cb (which he had been 85% over 150 hands).

Any thoughts?

shove pre, as played its fine.

everything is fine

+1

shove pre

shove pre obv

vs 19/13 pre is far from a clear shove, even if it's a shove
also equity vs raising range isn't what to look for, it's equity vs. calling range

it's obv co-related tho

This seems a pretty trivial jam.

Thanks for the reminder, I needed that.

If there was ever a spot to squeeze this is it.. pull dat trigger son, flop as played nh.
