    Default 50nl KQs 3b pot

    Villain is a reg, although a nitty one and probably not a huge winner. Match is about 6 hands in and the only hand of interest is where I got two streets of value with top pair against his 2nd pair top kicker.

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (2 handed)

    Hero (Button) ($59.35)
    SB ($45.90)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with Q, K
    Hero raises to $1.50, SB raises to $5, Hero calls $3.50

    Flop: ($10) 3, 3, 6 (2 players)
    SB bets $6.50 Hero...has a few options

    I feel like shoving turns our hand face up. So much that he will probably call with A high. I don't like calling too much because he may just shove the turn on me and I'll have to dump.

    So our options are raising to like $13 for a minraise, or raising to like $17 but then if he flats what do I do. Or I can shove which is probably the best out of all the options if I'm behind I'm probably never worse than a 40/60.

    id just shove since he has $33 left
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    So you have played this guy before? How did you get these reads 6 hands in?

    Making a small raise is +EV, same as shoving.

    Calling is too obviously, although it could put you in an awkward position if he double barrels since you have so possible outs.

    I think honestly all three are fine options here with reads like this and it doesn't really matter what you do.

    reads were from datamined stats so they weren't the most reliable but they were something to start with. I ended up shoving and hitting against his AKo
