    soaking up ethanol, moving on up
    irc convo below, some edits for continuity and correction

    <TheLongGrind> lawl getting it on turn when u know his range are sets and board pairs seems avoidable
    <daven> ^ that's the point
    <daven> or is it?
    <daven> his range isn't sets
    <daven> i defined his range
    <daven> it includes sets
    <daven> as well as tptk/flushes/two pair
    <Carrotz> calling can be better, depends on bb
    <daven> ^ cool
    <daven> post why in the thread?
    <daven> maybe keep bb in?
    <daven> i guess
    <daven> but is it about a neutral ev decision call vs shove?
    <daven> given that we can't fold vs utg on a 7 turn
    <Carrotz> causing bbs continiing range to be wider is prolly more significant than the few turns you lose value by calling flop vs the few combos of sets utg can have
    <daven> -> i more often make more money out of bb when i flat than the money i occasionally lose on a shitty turn?
    <daven> is that better
    <Carrotz> geting bb to continue with like AxJh and two pair maybe even like top pair if hes bad
    <Carrotz> but if bb is good enough to jus fold top pairs then I like jus shoving
    <Carrotz> depends on bb

    <daven> remember that utg isn't able to fold anything in his range
    <Carrotz> whats bb stats?
    <Carrotz> reads etc
    <Carrotz> if hes like a tag I think hes jus folding everything that isnt sets and flushes and getting it in otherwise
    <Carrotz> if hes a fish Id flat
    <Carrotz> if hes a reg or semi decent Id jus ship
    <Carrotz> cos if hes a not retarded I dont think you can widen his range much if at all by flatting
    <daven> tiny sample lag 30-20 but that's exaggerated by AA twice in 75 hands and the opportunity to 40% steal
    <daven> might actually be ok
    <daven> hasn't done anything stupid at all
    <Carrotz> yeah seems regish
    <Carrotz> and he can't have any good flush draws with pairs
    <daven> and even managed a bet-fold that looked good vs his likely range and the villain concerned
    <Carrotz> thinks it pretty safe to say then that hes either folding regardless of what you do or getting it in regardless with any flush or set
    <Carrotz> cant see this guy not folding top pair or even like A7
    <Carrotz> utg can have some stupid AxJhshit
    <Carrotz> or A7
    <Carrotz> A9
    <Carrotz> and felt
    <Carrotz> think getting it in before the turn is another heart is more crucial
    <Carrotz> like thats only like 1/6 turns or something
    <Carrotz> but still its close enough that I think thatsways it to a ship
    <Carrotz> however if bb is a fish then keeping him in is more valuable
