    MP1 ($2.86)
    MP2 ($1)
    Hero (MP3) ($1.98)
    CO ($2.92)

    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K, A
    2 folds, MP1 calls $0.02, MP2 calls $0.02, Hero raises to $0.10, 2 folds, SB raises to $0.18, 3 folds, Hero calls $0.08

    right after the flop bet by the villain.

    I imagine the next action was the Hero shoving, which is fine IMO.

    Im opedipus bitch, the original balla.
    shove-a-dove-dove. Even if villain has AA, which is usually going to be the best hand he has here (meaning I doubt he is 3betting JJ,TT), then you still have 46% equity. Therefore, fistpump shove.

    Worst line possible.
    Shovel all-in all day. Whenever you have a drawing hand, you want to get fold equity if possible. If you just call and don't improve and he shoves the turn, it's probably a close to 0EV call, and tough to figure out while you're playing, And you might not get paid a lot when the heart hits. Shove is definitely +EV against even a tight range.
