Villain has only been at the table for 2 orbits and has not gotten out of line at all. Read was that he was very TAG and had not 3-bet anyone yet but only played about 20 hands on the guy so information was limited. My image is pretty snug at this point as I had not been opening much the past few orbits.

I tend to shove here. Lately I have been shoving this pre flop. I'm not sure if it is the right move by any means. This is one of the stages/stack sizes that I seem to struggle with.

Tough one meta…his 3bet kinda feels like a medium to high pp. I feel like you could have easily shoved this instead of opening so my chips would have already been out there. I definitely think you could have two overs and you are suited…….jam all day!!

I open shove this. Rather take all my equity in the instances where I run into a monster than open/fold tough spots like this and just take guaranteed negative equity.

Yeah I am with RonFez. That is what I meant when I said u could have easily shoved instead of open with a min bet. Open shove all day!

I guess I felt like open shoving almost 20bb's was a little to much but looking back on it now I should have shoved….ugh… Won't make that mistake next time. Thanks for the input fellas 🙂

edit – I also think that I was guilty of 'not having a plan' vs the various stacks at the table. If I was going to open I should have already known what I was going to do vs each stack.
