    Shove flop 100% of time imo.. we are at worst 50% equity.

    Play around with FPP PRO.com -- Fold Equity Calculator, it'll teach you about how to play certain equity spots and whether shoving is a good idea or not.. the results might surprised you.

    OBV it's +EV to get it in on the flop, but the more implied odds you have here, the more +EV drawing is, and I didn't post this thread asking if pushing is +EV. I posted it because it seemed like a pretty complicated situation if you were to try to calculate/guesstimate what our EV is in BOTH situations. I'd really like it if anyone tried to find out about how profitable both plays are and then see what one we should use.

    you're over thinking things. It's not a complicated situation at all. At 2nl it probably doesn't matter whether you call you shove the turn or shove the the flop. You have almost 0 fold eq either way I would rather get my money in on the flop as a favorite then on the turn as a dog. Don't know if you have ever read the phycology of poker but it talks about situations like this and why shoving is the correct move. Simply put if they call you will always be a fav against their calling range. If they are tight wads who only with say 2p+ you will get a lot of folds. At 2nl though you will constantly get it in as a fav though. Waiting till the turn accomplishes nothing at all.
