I think I know the answer, but probably should be getting it in on the river? Playing too scared of the possible straight draw that would've hit with the river card - still occasionally get scared of getting it in.

Against someone that is calling my shove with things other than QT, I'm getting it in. He literally only has QTss that beats you here. My guess is that he has AJ or A8 and decided he had a good hand so he bet. Go ahead and shove. You'll lose sometimes but you'll win so many more.

I bet he has a smaller set.

I think your raises could b bigger each street as well.

And yes shoving river we dont want money left on the table.

Also if you think ur opponent only has 1 hand that has u
. Chances r he hasnt got it and hes bluffing or missed. Sure he wil have it sometimes but not as much as u think

I agree with larger raises as well as shoving the river. Not sure what caused me to play so cautiously

And he had J3s

I iso-raise a monkey like this a little bigger - 5BB.

Against guys like this, you don't have to balance your bet sizing and can make it near-pot sized. That way, you can GII on the river.


As played, we can probably shove this, but I don't mind the call either.
