Value Shoving ...

This is something I've talked about a lot, and here is another textbook example of an overbet-shove:

1. Back door flush hits on a 4-to-a-straight board:

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $1/$2 Blinds - 5 Players -

PKowalski: $337.10
Kylef41: $135.80
pauly007: $363.50
TheXC: $303.50
unclesnappy: $190.00

Preflop: TheXC is dealt 6d 7d (5 Players)
pauly007 folds, TheXC raises to $7.00, 2 folds, Kylef41 calls $5.00

Flop: ($15) Jd 9c 3h (2 Players)
Kylef41 checks, TheXC checks

Flop misses me completely and the J and 9 are likely to hit his blind calling range.

Turn: ($15) 8d (2 Players)
Kylef41 checks, TheXC bets $11.00, Kylef41 calls $11.00

Wheee! I've picked up a combo draw. Let's bet it ...

River: ($37) Td (2 Players)
Kylef41 bets $22.00, TheXC raises all-in to $285.50, Kylef41 calls all-in for $95.80
Uncalled bet of $0.00 returned to TheXC

Perfect card for me! Now there are 4 to a straight and I've got a very disguised hand. Any queen should call me here.

Pot Size: $272.60 ($3 Rake)

Result: Villain had KQo

Nice nice, I too am a big fan of the value shove :)

Oh and sorry to hear about the staking thing, that really sucks...
