I don't mind either a stop and go or a shove. Stop and go is more fun though.

Yeah, I probably don't shovel there. I hate these minbuying morons, and chances are he has AAxx, cuz they sit there like nits and wait for that. I flat call and see the flop. --he'll still stack off anyways, even if you flopped a royal.

Depends on read really but you have a pretty strong hand for such a small pot. I'd just stick it in and gamble. Unless he has KK you're not in horrible shape.

You can deffinatly fold here though. If he plays a lot of hands like this your gonna stack him anyways eventually.

Folding seems pretty weak. That's a solid multiway hand, and donkboy probably has AA27 or some garbage. We have a lot of flops we could hit to convince me to get the other $6 in.

Agree the majority of times at these stakes.

If I am running good or I just feel like gambling a little I will just put it in.

It makes me feel all warm inside when I bust mini buyers. At least you have established an image with the guy that you can use to our benefit later if he does happen to double.

Here's a similar hand - it's very pretty preflop, but why stuff it in and risk a flop like we ended up seeing? Might as well wait, he'll be all in anyways.
