    I'm not running a hud, but scoops been playing for several hours, and not spewing horribly all over. Pretty tagish. I've been threebetting him pretty light and he's been letting me have it, and I decided to *not* threebet this time. In any case, I have TPTK and Nut FD. I think he folds AA/KK a pretty large percent of the time. Pretty nitty guy.

    My only concerns is that by pushing I convince the shorty to call and price in villain with whatever he has

    lol.

    Actually this is a pretty bad shove Eupho. The only thing that's calling are hands that beat you. You should just call and raise a heart river (obviously), value bet to a check, and probably fold to a third barrel (unless the villain is very aggro then it's a call)

    What's exactly wrong with the raise if we feel he can fold AJ+?

    I dont like the shove- it gets no value from hands we beat - I either call or raise to around 50 to try to entice him to call with a weaker ace or worse flush draw. calling isnt so bad here as villain most likely has 4 outs maximum to beat you if you are ahead, so you are in good shape and it allows him to bluff a missed draw/overplay weaker aces on the river.
