    The fact that both of you are deepstacked makes this hand more difficult, but I probably shove turn anyways. As played you have to throw out a river blocking bet. He knows you don't have the A here so he may be "value betting" his top two.

    To be honest since he's utg I think its likely you got oversetted here.

    Why not shove this turn? It wouldnt be an overbet, and I think a hand like AK, AA, KQ, etc. are in villains range and are calling our push. As played we have to fold this river as we beat nothing, but why not get it in on the turn?

    I like both a "call turn and fold river" and "push turn" line. Which line I take depends on reads (and you the stats you have on opp after 16 hands isnt really reliable - if he was 18/6 after lets say 100 or 200 hands, I would probably take your turn and river line. against an unknown, i actually dont know hehe)

    I don't put AA or AK in his range from his line. However I do think you should push the turn.

    I like it. Getting 170bb's in on this board against a 18/6 is usually not a good idea. Like gabe said, with 100bb's easy turn shove.
