I apologize that I don't have a HH here, as this hand occurred about 2 weeks ago.

Deep in a $5 1400 person Bovada Deepstack Tourney, with 54 left.  I got moved to a table about 10 hands ago.  I have 19BBs.  

EP+1 has me covered, and is the chip leader at our table. He has been using his stack, and opening quite often, as to be expected.  A player with about 18BB calls from MP, haven't seen much of anything at all from this player.

With Bovada, obviously, I've got no HH.

Options: Call, and shove on the flop.

Call with the option of folding on the flop.

Shove.

What do you do and why, with limited information about the players at your table.

Thanks for the help!

I'm assuming you maent that the active big stack here opened and then you got one caller. you weren't 100% clear on that.

 

I think shove is the best option given our stack size and their wide range. 3betting looks to strong IMO. i hate just flatting here. it invites other players to join the pot and our hand often loses value when we do so. not only are we scared when a Q, K, A when they have hands like 66-1010 they aren't going to get stacks in on alot of flops.

On bovada I feel like it’s best to play “standard”. Which means stuff pre. They will call with worse pairs and you’ll flip some times and then the occasional Pair that has us crushed but whatever it’s a cooler We MoveOn.
