    ...Good Question........Where am I?

    Default Questionable High variance play to say the least-?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    (22/14/2 over 100 hands) (Button) ($79.65)
    Hero (SB) ($46.35)
    BB ($213.20)
    UTG ($63)
    MP ($27.50)
    CO ($16.15)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with 10, 10
    2 folds, CO calls $0.50, (22/14/2 over 100 hands) raises to $2, Hero raises to $6, 1 fold, CO calls $5.50, (22/14/2 over 100 hands) calls $4

    Flop: ($18.50) 3, 5, Q (3 players)
    Hero bets $12, CO calls $10.15 (All-In), (22/14/2 over 100 hands) calls $12

    Turn: ($52.65) K (3 players, 1 all-in)
    Hero bets $28.35 (All-In), 1 fold

    River: ($52.65) 10 (2 players, 2 all-in)

    Total pot: $52.65 | Rake: $2.55


    22/14 was opening 50% in LP. To be honest, I don't think I have very SOLID reasoning for my turn shove other than the fact that villain had made it obvious that he didn't understand pot/implied odds, and I thought I could easily fold out JJ and some Qx combo's that villain certainly flats on the flop.

    Also, just FYI, I just moved to 6m from massive multi-tabling FR. I now play 4 tables at most, and will be posting my first 10K or so hands stats. (Just in case this hand looks worse than I though. At least you know why)

    Flop is good, I would probably check fold the turn though, I wouldn't expect to get bluffed out of a protected pot too often.

    You should definitely be done once he calls the flop. River was played to perfection though.

    be careful using your preflop stats as reads when your on the turn.

    This is pretty much what I thought when reviewing the hand, and maybe even somewhat during the hand. I think I was just afraid to give him a free card with all those draws out there, but I guess that is outweighed by the overcards, and the fact that this is a 3b pot.
    FWIW!!!: I was ahead without the ten TYVM.

    This I don't really understand, (not to argue, I just don't understand) My reads were based on several hands I saw villain in, one in which he called a FD where villain didn't have a deep enough stack to even give correct implied odds, and another where he called a shortstack EP open w/ a small PP in the blinds.

    Is your turn shove a bluff or for value?

    The shortstack is allin, so I'd just check it down. He's not gonna bluff shove vs you, when the pot is protected by the all-in player.
