I was in this hand recently in a turbo STT where I had AJo in the BB, there was one limper in MP so I raised to 3BB.
Blinds and antes were 0/50/100. I had 17BB, villain had 12BB. Villain then shoved all in. Would you have called here? Or, would you have just checked instead of raising?
What do you do in these situations? I see this quite a bit, and when I'm able to see what people are shoving with it's usually some hand like a low pocket pair, connector, or something like QTo that they were trying to see a cheap flop with.
It's not good enough to raise with but it's good enough to shove when somebody else raises....is this actually a valid strategy I don't know about or is it just a donk play, and how do you handle these situations?
I remember reading somewhere that some players with big stacks will limp AA or KK in early position when blinds are high and there's several short stacks at the table because they're hoping somebody will shove, but that wasn't really the case in this hand. Villain had the shortest stack, but the chip counts were fairly even and the table was still full.
Your thoughts and advice appreciated
