Hello,

For the last 6 hands, there were 2 occasions where villain min-raised and then folded against a 3bet shove.

Was it correct of me to push here with 44? The thing is that in my eyes, the villain, if not a total fish, will see that his min-raises are getting shoved on more frequently, so will have to adjust and min-raise mostly when he has a hand that is good enough to call.

When he min-raised again, for a second I thought that he might have it this time, but I couldn't be 100% sure.

Can you please tell me what is the best way to think of such situations under such circumstances? :f_rolleyes:

I think this is a standard shove with any pair in a HU situation for 14bb effective. Only specific reads could change it.

Speaking of pocket pairs 22+ is a mandatory shove here.

Don't worry too much, if he had it. Poker is about probability. And here, your aim is to maximize your fold equity, because that is what makes your move +EV here.

Usually, when you get called, you will be flipping or behind. But that's ok, because when you take into consideration all of the occasions, that you made your opponent fold, it is +EV.

In fact, by shoving you deny his equity, which is the crucial thing here.

GL at the tables!
