I'd shove flop. There are a lot of draws that villain could have here that he'd be willing to stack off on the flop, whereas if we wait until the turn we aren't getting action unless we are beat usually. Villain could also be trying to protect a paired K against any draw.

given that theres so many draws that we can have here, i think shipping it is the best line. Calling kinda looks fishy imo. i think if we ship it in he'll def call with KQ, AK, and draws, whereas if we ship over a turn bet, he'll have a hard time calling KQ and draws.

so ya, 3bAI

I chose to shove as both of you have suggested. What should we be doing with hands not quite as strong, like KQ/KJ/etc? What about Ax of clubs? QJcc? Are there any hands we should be flat calling the c/r with?

Thanks for the responses.

I may ship AcXc and QJcc for balancing purposes depending on how strong the table was. KQ i probobally shove, KJ i prob fold but its close.

OK, so we are never just calling here?

i cant think of a hand b/c'ing could be good with.

89s using clubs as phantom outs?

folding KJ in position to a c/r on this flop seems pretty damn weak, seems like call/reevaluate isnt a bad option with some of the more weak TP hands (looking for blanks obv)
