2 pushes into tiny pots
Normally I don't post results, but I experimented tonight with just pushing into small pots with the nuts or semi nuts. Normally I value bet, but if I'm only called like 1 out of 4 or 5 times this play is EV+ compared to my normal value bet in these situation of like 1/2 pot with these hands. I sswear, it seemed like ppl were more willing to call and stack off if I pushed all in than if I did a full pot bet. The all in with the nuts or semi nuts just looks like a donk push to a lot of people, if they've hit a flush they'll call anyway thinking you are bluffing.
Should I continue trying this or is this just total luckbox city?

I dunno, I wouldn't call a push like that if I don't have the nuts or what I'm pretty sure is the best hand or when I'm pretty sure he IS bluffing.
But well, try it a bit more and see how it goes, maybe there are lots of players on NL100 that call those kinds of raises.

I was going to say these only work against the right opponents, then I saw what UTG opened in hand 1 so it is perfectly fine.
lol @ opening 620 UTG

Hand #1: You're just lucky heis chromosone count is lacking.
Hand #2: I always do this against shitty players if I think they have a flush.
