if this scenario is what you are going on, i guess you shove since you think that none of these hands can get away? but, i am so lost right here, this is why i started the thread. its as much, if not more, to help myself as it is to help others.

i guess you are saying that the $5 only cost us more money than outright shoving? unless, of course, we accidentally induce a bluff...and have the balls to call....which i guess you are saying we should.

oh, and i didnt take all day to think about this...lol. i forgot about it until lunch, and reviewed the hand (to see turn and river cards). granted, i still got timed out on, but i didnt spend hours in pokerstove, either...lol.

again, i am confused as all hell, though, when i thought i had it figured out. damn.
i think you may be confused... that was an example of basically how i wanted you to answer the question (like, the format...)

Just tell me what you think the opponent will do in these situations:

- what actions will a standard bad passive opponent take with the possible hands in his range if you bet $5.
- what actions will a (ditto) take if you overshove.

maybe a hint: What action is he taking if you min bet?
Give me something to work with so we can see whether you are having a decision making problem or a hand reading problem.
