    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.
    Any reads? I'd usually call down instead, but I get owned by TT pretty often.

    shoving is pretty bad, just call/call
    Nine to five is how to survive - I ain't trying to survive / I'm trying to live it to the limit and love it a lot //

    Can offer RB deals on most sites, PM me.

    behind you with an axe
    Are you shoving to get called by worse (Ax) or fold out better (88+)?

    I think shoving is pretty bad

    - if he is bluffing, you are not giving him chance to bluff again and you are dead vs his value betting range = call

    im assuming villian is awful and hit the pot button and did not overbet.

    meh i dont hate shoving as much as everyone else but i still think call/call is better

    his 3bet BB vs BU and overall 3bet is fairly important here. If he has low 3bet i think you might even fold somewhere on the turn or river (probably call turn fold river). Any indication of if hes aggro or passive would help as well

    just fold to the turn lead

    Pretty sure long-term folding turn is best play.
    Playing big pots at small stakes.

    idk if it changes anything, it was kinda assumed.

    Almost makes me wanna fold more since he's so passive.

    call

    this is a random spazzout so often from this type of player. if he had a bigger overpair than you he'd probably check the turn so he could check raise your ass.

    It's a really weird thing what he's doing, but if you don't have any reads that he randomly makes weird bets in odd spots with bluffs I think you should just toss the turn and wait for a better spot.

    Just fold but make a note that he did this and keep your eye on him. If he does something like this again in another strange spot, I'd be way more likely to call down at that point.

    Shoving doesn't serve any purpose except protect against random KJ type hands but that is too small of an issue to be worrying about since the times that he does have you beat and calls, you are getting it in REALLY bad.
