    Default Flipside: shoving puts them on tilt

    I had shoved or called all-ins 6 of the previous 8 hands (had legitimate rush and ended up tripling up, worst of the 6 was A8o).

    Villain here started criticizing me for the constant pushes and finally got fed up. Note stack sizes.

    Yes, just last night it got to HU with big blinds (300/600) and roughly even stacks and I had been shoving a lot. Opp was getting all pissed off saying, "Play poker dips hit" and things like that. I didn't respond. A few hands later I picked up KK and shoved and he SNAP called me with 96s.

    I mix it up a bit by making standard raises with garbage or SC as well as AA/KK/QQ and also shoving AA/KK/QQ and hands like this.

    Shoving puts so many on tilt. And they cheer a call and they cheer if you get sucked out on.

    The advice is after you've shoved into someone twice you should add more to their calling range, and hence tighten.

    If they are tilted into mistakes it's great, but you HAVE to factor expanding calling ranges as a result of your previous action. Also when analyzing hands, think about what shove range they put you on after a few shoves and consider whether or not, under that info, their calls are actually ok
    This is not my signature. I just write this at the bottom of every post.

    yeah, totally, so I'm not shoving K9o or something but I can't imagine not shoving ATs here.

    Ha ha ha.. awesome. Why on earth would he call here... even if he thinks you're now shoving super light (but in reality.. you most likely aren't.. .not after being in so many times consecutively). Love the 'tilt' call here.
    Amazing what situations some players will actually call under. On bubble as CL but close in size to sb... I shove AQs, BB has like 4bb's and dipshit on sb calls me with K-2o. soooo sick.
