The limper was running at 25/0 over 13 hands, so not much of a read. I shoved this hand, but I wonder now whether just checking would have been a better play. Q9s is going to allow me to continue on a higher number of flops than usual and 25/0 at least suggests it is safe to fold if he bets. On the other hand, Q9s is not a terrible hand to shove against a single opponent and I increase my stack by more than 1/3 if he folds. So, shove or check?
