I shoved the flop here because I figured that Villain would've 5bet/jammed pre with AA/KK and maybe with QQ as well, so his range is likely to be QQ-TT, AQ, AK, and maaaaybe KQs, which I'm comfortably ahead of right now but has a good bit of equity. Since the SPR on the flop is under two, I'm pretty much committed to getting it in with my overpair, so the flop choice is to jam now or make a normal sized c-bet and then jam turn. On top of that, my fold equity against QQ is going to be negligible if I take the c-bet/jam turn strategy but could be non-zero if I rip it now, and there are several possible turn cards that would make the turn jam really uncomfortable, so I chose to just GII and pray. Was I leaving value on the table here by taking this line on the flop? Should I have played it differently pre?
