Out of interest fellas, how would you play J9 (not diamonds) if you were Tikay <shudders> with that board?

thats the beauty of shoving draws in this spot, you can shove nut hands here as well.

Making my case, surely?......(albeit for the wrong reasons!).

That was my point too...I think.

If this is the way Tikay would play a made str8, how could the others be so sure what he was on?  Unless that nervous tick gave it away?

Listen, I shoved for the reason that I'm a chronically weak player, capable of being pushed off almost any hand except the stone colds. But if I "push" they can't get me off!
