Reads: BTN caller is calling/raising pretty light, and has called raises in the past with the intention (in my opinion) just to make the big bluff on the flop or turn. Here, I have a good stack, with the only person I'm really worried about being the UTG short stack. I didn't feel the BTN had a strong enough hand to call all his chips with, especially on the bubble.

Full Tilt Poker, $5 + $0.50 NL Hold'em Sit n' Go, 60/120 Blinds, 4 Players

Hero (BB): 4,070
UTG: 1,480
BTN: 3,645
SB: 4,305

Pre-Flop: (180) :Qh: :Ac: dealt to Hero (BB)
UTG raises to 300, BTN calls 300, SB folds, Hero?

Is this an auto-shove vs the BTN's calling range?

Looks like a shove with your read I think. I'm happy to get it in vs UTG, and we're far ahead of BTN's range, so I'm happy to ship it arrrrr in.

That's what I thought; I just wanted some more experienced players' opinions, as I'm still getting the hang of bubble bullying. Will post results later after I get a few more people's inputs.

Yeah, this is an easy shove with AQ. It becomes a little more questionable lower down the hands. If BTN really is calling light you don't like that much so perhaps won't be a big a push range as it could be.

Villain called with pocket fives. I flopped top pair and he flopped a set.

Shove seems fine especially since we have the flat caller out chipped.

Just curious here... Now that we know the outcome, would anybody not have shoved? It's basically a coin flip here, right. 4 handed I think most pairs are going to call, right? Just trying to sponge some knowledge here. :smile:

I agree with all, that it was an Insta-Shove 4 handed, but in other circumstances as well, is that a call that we want?

If we know he's calling w/ 55 it's basically like we're calling a 30bb push w/ AQ on the bubble...really bad.
