Message: [QUOTE="John A, post: 5431610, member: 88730"] I'd advise not having a default. I'd say instead have some universal poker truths like, "If I shove, I allow my opponent to play near perfect poker." And allowing your opponent to play near perfect isn't winning poker. So in this specific hand, we only know our opponent is short stacked, which is usually a sign they are a weaker player. If you open shove the flop, your opponent can fold KQ/AQ/AJs, and any other garbage they may have. You're unlikely to get them to fold splits either if they have AK, and they're definitely not folding TT+. Their calling range if you shove isn't changing. If you're worried about the turn, don't be. The turn plays the same... you check, and allow your opponent the same opportunity. The above maxim doesn't change. Look forward to your posts. You're a really good poker player for a lot of reasons. Keep adding to your arsenal. [/QUOTE]
