    Default best play i seen in $5NL

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    Hero (UTG) ($8.28)
    UTG+1 ($9.08)
    MP1 ($9.28)
    MP2 ($10.55)
    CO ($4.11)
    Button ($5.93)
    SB ($19.24)
    BB ($6.30)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q, A
    Hero raises to $0.20, 3 folds, CO calls $0.20, 1 fold, SB calls $0.18, 1 fold

    Flop: ($0.65) 9, A, 10 (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $0.55, 1 fold, SB calls $0.55

    Turn: ($1.75) 10 (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $1, SB raises to $18.49 (All-In), Hero...

    i will post results later... but villain is tight-passive-passive... preflop raise is less than 2 and VP$IP is 16...

    what is your play?.. is calling profitable at this point?..

    If this guy is as tight-passive as you make it out to be, fold. Fold now and don't look back. Bury the hand, then bury the shovel. But seriously, that's a huge over-shove on the turn (18x your bet!) That's either a pure bluff or he's got the nuts. His passiveness post-flop tells me it's the latter.

    Seems like a poor play to me.

    If he has you beat, he's getting ZERO value from the winning hand.

    If he's bluffing, he's turned his hand into a bluff. Meaning that only better hands will call..

    Both are considered donkey type mistakes that you simply can't make at any higher stakes and expect to be a consistent winner.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes

    What a strange play...I think even a min-raise would be more effective than that over-shove. Fold it.

    It's only a good play if you called like a donk

    Um. Yep, pretty much agree with everything here.
