You played this good imo.. I don't feel like 3-betpushing preflop because there has been a 3bet in front.

The coldcall preflop looks ok.

Flop: I like this shove because it looks like a bluff and you get called SO often by weaker aces ♦
Don't make this your standard line when you play against regulars though

there is always a bigger fish

Hi all,

I don't mind the coldcall preflop but I don't understand the flop shove. Hide results in future please ;).

In such a pot on such a dry board I would check/raise all-in (or check/raise standard if they bet very small). The added advantage of check/raising is that.. say BB or MP2 donkbets, we can trap a bit more dead money in the pot before shoving.
