Pre Flop: (t45) Hero is BTN with A :diamond: K :spade:
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t30, MP1 raises to t60, MP2 calls t60, CO calls t60, Hero raises to t360, 3 folds, MP1 calls t300, 2 folds

Flop: (t915) 3 :heart: 4 :heart: J :spade: (2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets t1045.00,

the original minraiser is a known, loose player..

my stack preflop is 1405 and I raised to 360.. meaning to say I'm not pot-committed preflop using this rule: "you're pot-committed preflop if you raise 1/3 of your stack going to the flop right"..

Anyway, I got vs 1 villain flop and thought flop is good enough to shove a slight overbet agree?

There's another rule which says that AK is "walking back to Houston".

You made a good raise preflop, so c-bet is definitely a must... but the issue is obviously that any bet over 50% of the pot equals over 50% of our stack, which means that we should shove :f_confused:

The problem of shoving in this spot is that we are pretty much turning our hand face up (with overpair/pair etc we would slow-play), so he will call with any pair, including smaller pockets.

Another issue for us is that after so many limpers pre-flop we probably don't have 6 outs :f_cry:.

I would take a free card and bet 1/3 of the pot on turn, if villain checks, and fold, if villain bets out.

you could bet like 400 and call a shove cos then you keep in hands that you beat and he feels like bluffing with.

with around 15% of your stack in the middle before you acted and the mini raiser being loose I might have shoved preflop to take down the pot.

If you think the guy can call you AJ, AQ or worse then I might just shove it. also, makes post flop easier.

As played your committed to any flop so i would get it in. Your line looks very strong.

Hmm.. first time I "hear" about this rule.. will googled it ;)

I won't be slowplaying my overpair/top pair here with a flush draw on the board..

I kinda like your "move".. I'll try it next time if I ever come into a similar spot ;)

Yeah I wasn't sure how much the percentage of the pot should be to make open-shoving pre optimal.. I thought it was 20% but I guess I was mistaken.. I'll post a new HH about that ;).. Cuz I do had in mind to open-shove in-game..

This.

Openshove preflop is also my choice.
