Pre Flop: (t90) Hero is SB with Q :club: A :spade:
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t60, 2 folds, CO calls t60, 1 fold, Hero raises to t240, 3 folds

We're slightly too deep to shove here, right? but we'll be OOP postflop..

Is raising to ~425 and shoving every flop an option?

but what if both call and we miss....c/f?


no... if we raise 425 the plan is to shove EVERY flop. even when we miss. the 425 pre is a value raise setting us up for a flop shove. you cant fold when you miss because you are purposely committing yourself pre-flop

So we raise enough so that we only have 1 psb on the flop assuming we get one caller.

interesting line, never played this way before.

isnt' that hand and position too bad for us to raise to 240 ? Shouldn't it be something like 300 rather ?

Yeah it's not always the best line, but in some spots it's the best way to deal with the awkward pot/stack relation that's so common in OOP situations.


yes, very important to note that im not suggesting you do it as a default just because you are oop with a weird stack size. but it is an option if you feel it will get you more value from the correct opponents.

in this spot i just isolate the std size and b/c ,b/f or c/f --- delay cbet depending on the board and my opponent/s
