55lucky55 is a HUGE player playing a small game, $350k winnings. Not much in the way of reads on danyo.

Does anyone like just limping here?

How about me checking the flop? My thoughts, anyone with a D draw or combo straight draw will call. I felt most hands calling me would be ahead. I could wait for a turn checked around to fire on and represent something.

I think you played it fine in this spot. In fact, I'm probably pushing the turn no matter what cards I have. After it's checked to you twice, go ahead and make a move. Especially with the flush draw on board, someone would have definitely already bet if they had anything.

If you had faced any resistance at all before this, I'm letting it go.

Pot's like 9k and you have 4500 left? Shove the flop please and thanks.

So there is no other way to play this simply because of stack sizes remaining?

Obviously shoving is standard. But some points I want to make....

1. They are expecting me to shove and will call most likely with any pair+draw of any sort, as well as any flush draw.
2. With 2 cards to come vs 1 card to come, with my stack size, a shove on the river makes it a bit more pricey to call.
3. With one opponent being a very good player, playing in a small-buy in tourney, he will be thinking more down on their level (see point 1)
4. My AA is pretty much never good here %wise 3 ways

Basically the point I am trying to ask here is that shoving AAxx here with no redraw whatsoever just seems TOO standard and in a 3way pot will likely get called on that massive flop (2 broadway 2 suited)

100% standard imo
