Why did he shove here with that hand?

This hand came up in a DYM just now. Why on earth did he shove with that hand - what was the thought process behind it?

Even though it looks spewy, and even though your likely opening tight to a 3x, especially from that position, table dynamics and ICM can make some things that look spewy on face value actually be reasonable. So once you factor in ICM his shove is actually even worse


Some people just like to gamble :-)
