I think this is standard and pretty much perfectly ok
But is min raising btn in this situation ok, I want action right - I want the bb to shove or/and call pre right
Doubting myself a little bit here as it's happening a lot )

    I think it just has to be a shove.

    Have to play our monsters same as our AJ/10K hands here in unraised pot with 10 bigs.

    Always seem to get punished when going for the extra in these spots. 

    Minning is so tempting though.

    I like minraise pre, most bad players don't understand you canny fold to reraise.

    Flop nice and standard.

    If you want action, min raise is fine.

    3x you probably lose your customer.

    Problem with fishing for a customer is they will sometimes catch a monster.

    Once he's called, nothing you can do here, chips are always going in.

    I'm shoving pre; learnt my lesson from a similar hand a while back playing roughly the same way.

    Shove pre, he'll probably fold but least you get the blinds and live to fight another day ;-)

    We only shoving pre if we have been shoving previously ?
    Or do you think shoving opens up oppos calling range ?

    For once agree with GT.

    We have to play strength the same as our mandatory LP shoves.

    (He prob meant something else though :PPPPPPPPPPPPP)

    no, think we are on same page for once amybr

    Rancid, if your opens for the last while have been min opens its fine. But if you have been shoving or opening bigger continue doing the same. I would usually be shoving

    Youre a legend GT, never think I believe otherwise :)

    May disagree when alcofrol is out my system though.

    I hear ya, keep it the same - if I had been shoving, then yeah it's a shove all day

    I had been sitting quite, waiting for the hand to go to war with, so .......kinda desperate for action )

    I think min raise or since you have 10bb's shove. Sometimes shoving with 10bb's looks weaker as it's push time. But as soon as I get KK with 10bb's im not folding ever
    So min raise to encourage a hand along nd getting it all in post flop is also great play. Just unlucky

    Hi rancid.
    For me its a shove pre flop with 10bb's the fact you are the dealer makes it look like a steal.

    Unlucky though mate.
