0.50$/1$ NL Holdem, Full Tilt Poker, 6 Players
I'm on the BTN with 8
9
UTG is very loose, wants to see a flop almost every time, check calls very often with marginal hands like second pair.
UTG limps in, 2 folds, I raise to 5.50$, SB and BB fold, UTG calls
Flop : A 8
9
UTG Checks, I bet 11$, UTG Calls.
Turn : 3
Potsize : 34.50$, I have 40$ behind, UTG has me covered (around 55$)
Shove or trap check ? Is it likely he has a spade draw and I would only be giving him a free card by checking ? Or might he have Ax here and call a shove ?
[I'll describe the outcome later in the thread, It's worth telling, but I want a few thoughts before...]

Well it seems 90% of you say shove here, and guess what, I did just that !
Except I wouldn't have gotten max value, but max loss if I had bought in for more.
After my shove, he snap called with A
4
!!! (Did someone say shoving would seem weak ???!)Reminder: Me : 8
9, him : A 4, board A 8 9 3.River : 3
! I love Full Tilt !
