I've been thinking about this hand.
I really wanted to get MP2 into this hand. He's shoved his stack twice at small pots, once when I checkraised and once when he minraised preflop. I read him as a person with problems with aggression which is part of the reason why I led the flop (besides being a general good play). I was hoping that he would get aggressive but he only minraised.
But I think I misread him. Rather than having an aggression problem, I think he's just a bully, meaning he'll shove against aggression, but only when he thinks he can bully people out of the pot.
By shoving into him, he can no longer bully so he can fold. I get called by KK in the CO so I get a nice pot anyways, but I'm wondering if I could have gotten MP2 to shove the turn by calling the flop and checking the turn, allowing him to play the bully role. I suppose I risk letting an OESD fill doing so though.
Thoughts?
