Agreed with the other posts, a shove is just going to kill any action unless it’s a complete cooler, in which case it’s likely to be all in anyway.

The other problem here is that it defines your hand almost exactly when you shove and will make it clear that you can’t have AA/KK when you take any different action with your other holdings.

It’s a really interesting topic and as people have said the answer really is “it depends”.

I approach different types of games differently (tournament/cash and different stakes) and will try to adjust once i have a feel for the table.

The only thing I’d add is that it’s better to start with a fairly conservative strategy and then open up in certain spots (and vs specific opponents).

The alternative may prove costly, so if you are doing anything wrong here then at least you’re making the right mistake, if that makes any sense?

I’ll be keeping an eye out on here then as I’m visiting from the UK in early November.

That said, i also hope that the next game happens before November!!
