This one doesn't go into brags because I didn't play it, just watched it but I really loved the hand.

Table was me and a reg across the table and between us fish, some tighter, some looser but all fish. I fold, fish limps, fold, reg raises, fold, fold, fish calls. Flop brings a ace and flush draw, fish checks, reg bets and fish insta-calls.

Now... fish insta-call with two things: monsters or draws but mostly draws. Tighter fish slowplay the monsters and looser fish usually shove the flop. This guy was had around 80 VPIP so I thought to myself that he was on a flush draw.

Turn brings nothing, fish checks and reg... SHOVES! It would never have crossed my mind to do that but I guess that he had the same read I did and he was positive the loose fish would call if he had a flush draw and even any ace which obviously happened. Fish shows 82s, reg shows AKo and river is nothing.

I really loved this hand. The reg extracted full value from his TPTK against a villain that he knew would call that shove any day with a draw or a weak ace. Doesnt' need much math to know that, if called, this is a winning play against such a drooler.

Without knowing the stack sizes and pot size on the turn id say that this is someone panicing with tptk and shoving to scare off draws on a draw heavy board.

Reg was lucky that this fish called imo because he allowed him to make an easy and correct fold by possibly scaring him off. A smaller bet would be more +ev in the long run as the fish is more likely to call and make a mistake in doing so.

OP is easily impressed.

Orangepeeleo, not so much.

I think overbet shoving on the turn is OK if you know they can't fold Ax or a draw.

:) I'm a fish, of course I'm easily impressed.

The reg was not scared and that fish called with anything. He called river bets with 22 on a board like QQ88X... he is clueless!

I do not think is something so amasing. Usualy this kind of fish play 40 BBs buy-in at 1/2c and 2/5c and on the turn they are pot comitted so shoving here is just a quick resolve because if you bet pot it is the same thing.
