So i was in a £2.20 DYM in the very late stages with still 5 players left. I have 3 big blinds left. Im the second to act and have been dealt 3 2 off. My intention is to shove here and hope everyone folds and take down the blinds! So i get called by AK but i hit a two on the turn and knocked him out! To say he was not very happy was a bit of an understatement! Think he now has me down as the worst player in the history of the game, One of the other players at the table who limped in every single hand didnt get a single bit of abuse so one can only asume that this is the done thing now. Anyway will post the hand and let you decide wether i was wright or wrong!!!

Also, when you're in the bb, the rest of the table has to act before you make your decision. Granted you lose fold equity if you're shoved on, but hey, chances are you are calling them with better than 3 high!
You shove 3 high with 3 players still to act, vs waiting for another hand you get to see (for free) which is bound to be better than 3 high. You can still decide to shove next hand without it costing you chips beforehand.
Re the comments about its only 3 high. I think that’s irrelevant. We’re obv not looking to get calls. If they all fold, then brilliant and if they call then we’re still not in terrible shape v opponents hand.
Anyone who calls is calling for their dym. Looking at the players left to act, I don’t expect them to call light and we get this through so often.
I prefer the 32 to A2 or A3.
When we are called with A2 or A3 we’re in terrible shape and likely to be drawing to 3 outs against either a pair or a better ace
You can make a case for this UTG, but never UTG plus one.
Ask yourself this. Would you rather try and get past 4 people with 3 2 off, or 5 people with any two cards?
Shove next hand, not this one.
Not sure @Jac35 has any clue what he's talking about tbh.
Stone sober now and i still feel the same 😊
You are giving this example as if it's the 1st time in your life you've ever made this move...i'm not only a nit etc. i also study every player over several hundred games
there are more than several i would fold ak too in this situation, even in a low stake dym. However you are in the list that i have played more than 200 games against and imo a very average player. I do vent my frustration at players who continually suck out,it's part of my make up. I'd give a £1,000 to stop it and become an eon or a Tikay at the tables. It's not even you i'm frustrated at it's all players of your ilk who randomly put hands like this up and say ''am i right or wrong'' and jac35 making a case for it,just makes me want to fire up more tables:) On a personal note i have no malice towards you or any other player on Sky....I love banter (sometimes edgy banter) If you make plays like that a considerable amount of times and keep sucking out i will comment on it! I genuinely hope your poker improves, it's a wonderful experience for me playing on a table where i'm the value:)
Best wishes
Whizz.
