I played a home game last night. It can be an action-heavy game at times. $1-$1 with a winnable $5 straddle for the button. If the straddle is not in play then usually the button plays it anyway. I did well enough and made $150 for the night but the night could have way better with one hand.

I believed he had a good hand (JJ+) and was very suspicious of the call-raise. Villian gets sneaky with his plays which actually hurts him in long run (fancy play syndrome).
I changed my decision six times in the span of 1 minute. Call, fold, shove, call, shove....I finally chose to call.

Seeing one of my outs dead really upset me and I folded.

King hits the river and it burns. I can't help but think about the pre-flop shove.
So the question is...
With what frequency should this be a pre-flop shove versus flat?
The second time I considered shove I could see the debate playing out in my head...
Logic: "I really think we're supposed to shove here."
Prudence: "Hold on cowboy. Why don't we see a flop first?"
