Should I not have shoved?

[Deathwish238]

Should I not have shoved on the turn? Granted it wasn't much of a shove...but still...

I think I may be on tilt as I'm down today...


Typical Shorthanded $5NL table...weak and loose as hell. The BB is loose and a bit aggressive as well.

Raise more PF (i guess your raise is ok)
4-bet the flop (Probably just push after the min reraise)
Since you didnt push on flop pushing the turn is fine.
5 outer hits on river cry/reload

 

[Deathwish238]

Yeah I should have raised more preflop for sure.

Why is it called a 4 bet?

Thanks for the reply

 

[GoodWoodRR]

You should have pushed on the flop. Especially at these limits.

 

[Deathwish238]

I rarely ever push...this is probably actually the second time I did.

Why would you push more at these limits?

 

[Lo-Dog]

We want to push on the flop cause villian has showed interest in the pot and we want to make him pay for any draws he may have.

Players at these limits tend to call your all in with something like top pair so no point messing around, just get your money in.
