The problem is: Shoving over is *not* always the best way to get it AI. Against top set, yeah. But what if we're scaring off something like AJ?

Without knowing the action pre-flop though, we really can't put a range on our villain, and without knowing stack sizes we really can't make a decision concerning ev-ness.

Making this post a waste of a space. More information yields better answers.
Don't mean to "waste space". When learning, one does not always know how to correctly ask a question. In my scenerio, there would most likely be a raise and call. Either the Villian has raised and i have smooth called in position or.... i may have raised let's say in the CO and the villian is on the button and smooth called. And i am assuming even stack sizes...

After some more thought, i can see where a read on villian may allow a smooth call and possibly squeeze another bet out of him on the turn if he hits a good card that also helps us.

Can someone point me to some good reading on bet sizing and pot control? Thanks guys for the comments..
