Hero ???

Any bet commits me to the pot, so I may as well shove. But a shove is only called by a better hand. If I check and someone bets, I would feel compelled to call. So bottom line, I don't know what I should do. Help!!!

I'm not sure only a better hand calls your shove. At this level you could be called by people w/ a) total crap, b) any pp who assume the odds are good you don't really have a K, c) someone with a 3, 4) someone playing Ax. Plus, even if they have a K, you've got 3 outs to Boat. I just think there's way to much other stuff that would call to not push. I'd rather push than check/call as you lose the fold equity.

TT+ arent going anywhere, and may bet out, if you check.

i c/r all in, personally. at this level, you should be going for stacks. if someone only calls your pf RR, i can only assume pp's and AK. i would only be afraid of AK. i c/r AI.

With less than pot behind you shouldn't be considering folding. Just pick whichever line you think gets the most value out of weaker hands.

just shove it

his range is wider than AK here and you still get more calls than youd expect from QQ/JJ/TT
