Hi all,

Hey,
If u have seen him before limp/folding, then shove seems good. But when he usually shoves or raises in this spot then i tend to just check, cause it looks too strong. We are still in the folding war. OFC it depends on the table as well. If another short player is fish and makes a lot of loose moves then ch seems good again in most of times. When limper is bad then ch is better as well cause he might call with too wide range.

This. I think he's trapping a bunch too.
This spot is tough, it's not just you that thinks this! Our opponent makes a play that makes mathematical solving of the situation extremely difficult. We need to quantify how often we win postflop when we check, and that is a very tough undertaking. Anyway it does seem that checking is best with 22, but I'd be very interested what the best play with a hand like 66 would be (although doing the complex math to solve it would be pretty pointless given the rarity of the situation
).
