KKvs lag

my question though is why not just reraise villains flop raise to 4.6$$ and be done with it? youre not folding when he shoves, and you get extra fold equity vs AA, maaaaaybe even bottom set, but that might be pushing it.

Why would you want to fold out all of the garbage in his hands that you do beat?
By shoving you're practically forcing him to play correctly against your hand, either he's got your range beat or he folds. By re-raising like that when we are strong against his range and he so aggressive, we allow him one more opportunity to bluff it off.

I was thinking about that, but I think the board is perfect for the rrshove. odds are he has an overpair to the board (by hand combos), and with each extra card that comes out, youre raising the chances that he gets scared out of the pot.

eg., hero holds kk, villain holds TT

flop comes 568, hero bets, villain raises, hero raises, villain calls.

turn comes q, hero shoves with remaining stack, villain thinks for a bit, then folds.


i know its a bit silly in this example for villain to fold turn with so much in the pot already, but what im trying to show is that by doing so, were maximizing our fold equity vs hands we beat when scare cards come out for villain.
