    So you hit your set on the turn, and you decide to pretty much 2x pot jam after just sitting down? Did you have reads villain calls with worse here a lot? Or were you just banking on a random diamond draw?

    Well, I have a theory. It's all very scientific. I figure that if you get a great hand as soon as you join a table, villians are a lot more likely to call a shove because they assume you're a donk. And no, I didn't have any hand history with villian.

    I knew he could have flopped a flush, but probably didn't. If he was on a draw, I thought I'd make him pay the max to chase it. I also thought he could call with worse, like AK, AQ, QQ, JJ, TT, 99, 44, 22. Who knows, there are a lot of donks out there.

    This situation doesn't come up very often. The only other time that I can remember, I got AA with my first hand at a table and shoved AI preflop. I got called by villian with 33. Villian hit a 3 on the flop and took my stack. You can't argue with science, imo.
