What do you think about this kind of pushes? I mean: I know it's ok by the flop when you have a lot of equity, but I think I should start doing this to get big stacks and FTs.

Out of the equity of the hand, it's a good strategy in general?

EDIT: this hand is from 3 days ago I think. I don't remember why I did that cold call but I see it now and find it unusual

The call is fine, your hand plays well multiway and you wouldn't want your 3b to get 4b.

Postflop is a bit crazy for me. Villain fires a CB into 3 opponents with you still to act on a KQx flop, so you have to give him credit for a decent made hand. That makes the turn shove a much lower percentage play because there isn't much you can rep on that board to get a fold from a good Kx/Qx.

I like. Small stakes players still over-cbet oop, over-cbet multiway, are not balancing their checking ranges and your sizing prevents you being check jammed on by an ideal stack size and being left in a gross spot.

Checking behind turn seems okay too. I dislike betting half-pot.

I don't really like turn , i mean :

If villain gave up and/or we want to rep Kx a lower bet is fine to achieve the fold. If he calls the turn bet OTR we can get our draw (more chips to win) or if not double barrel definitely repping the Kx folding out worse hands

Thanks guys.

The thing here for me is this: I am starting to make these kind of plays in these kind of spots because I tend to die in bubble or reach FT with shortstack. I wasn't realy playing "odds" I was trying to play with villains fear and with some odds backup anyway.

Maybe he would fold to a turn bet, but the thing is that if I din't hit and he calls I loose to everything but a flush and can't bluff river. If flush comes he would never call any river bet.

Maybe is better to arrive FT/end of bubbles 40% of times with 50/80bb+ than 60% of times with 20/25bb

Turn is good to check since you don't fold Kx prob and we can't really have KK/QQ here and likely fold 33 preflop most the time. You can realize all your equity likely for free.
