    What were your stats?
    I like a shove in general unless you've been a maniac. 4x is an ugly looking steal against BB whom he's probably trying to gain some footing on. A shove from you will take mp by surprise and he'll fold it.

    Still playing full ring I assume? If his raising range truly is what his stats suggest (I'd suspect it to be a bit wider than top 10%), you're a slight dog, but you should have plenty of FE unless he's an idiot. Reads? In a vacuum I think I'm shoving this, though it's very close, 77 would be a fold.
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.
