Hero ???

I don't know why but i blacked out in this hand and i just shoved right there, thinking SPR is pretty low for future play, pot is worthy, the case i am against better Ace is limited and i do fear some Turn cards.
It was my shove OK or should i had bet to extract value from some Kx,Qx that doesn't believe me or worse Ax?

I don’t like it to over shove the flop, because then you get only action of better. I would just Cbet like half pot and if he shoves we can still fold. I don’t think he will ever shove with worse.

This is a 34/2 player in a 25ct mtt sng. Stats suggest this is not a very competent player.
We block some straight combo's, so what about worse Ax or KJ/KT/QJ/QT with one club? Or TT? Or JJ? All pretty logic for a fun player to go for it al the way.

I think this is a bet/call (or bet and shove turn) >>> bet/fold....
