    Default Rivered straight facing massive push; BvB & deep

    Villain seems to be a reasonably aggressive multitabling TAG who likes to get tricky with floats and 2barrels every so often (But far from always). He doubled up earlier when a floated PP hit a set on the turn vs. an idiot's top pair. He's 17/14/2.4 or so over ~100 hands. I've been playing quiet TAG, I haven't done anything out of line.

    I think I almost always fold here I don't believe he's firing enough without a Q or AQ. He surely isn't doing this with 2 pair or a busted draw. Looks like some kind of stack -a-donk line to me.

    Anyway why no reraise on the turn?

    no way he doesnt have at least a Q here.

    You're risking $100 to win $15.

    You need to be splitting 87% of the time to call.

    AQ,KQ,QQ,QJ,Q9,Q8. All probably raise preflop and bet the flop alot. The turn filters alot out of his range though. Id say only

    A Q, KQ, QJ.

    Will get there on the river to shove. A Q has one combination. KQ has 6. QJ has 6. So we are splitting 12/13 of the time which is 92%. If he shoves KQ/QJ every time then we can call.

    BUT will he shove every time with KQ / QJ here? If he shoves AQs every time here then he needs to shove KQ/QJ 94% of the time which is probably not going to happen. Id expect him to overbet shove AQ most of the time, and usually make a smaller value bet with just a Q. If hes not even shoving KQ 50% then its a pretty clear fold.

    This is one of those spots where donks shove the nuts, hoping to get called by the 2nd nuts. I'd muck it.

    Shoving the nuts here is actually a pretty good play.

    Whats a better play though. Shoving or check/shoving? I think its safe to assume that hero would value bet a Q if checked to in this spot.

    Check/shoving gets more value out of a bare Q who might fold to a shove and any missed draw that might try to steal.
