snap fold.

Always a fold, you have virtually zero fold equity here...

DINOH2 is calling 100% of the time even if the raiser doesn't.

Snap fold.

You are playing a 12bb stack, you have 1 move - open shove

Obviously if someone raises you can be reshoving the top of your range, but whatever you are shoving with just expect to get called most of the time

this is such a simple fold that it might be worth you writing down your thought process here as there's something fundamentally wrong with it if you're considering putting your chips in the middle in these spots. either that or you're tilting after losing the 2 big hands

Ooh pretty cards.

Gambool.

lol, yeah, that's kinda what I was assuming the thought process was

yeah my instant though process was fold it was just after the hand played out i was thinking about how many bigs i need to be 3 bet shoving suited connectors to get people to fold
i keep reading that suited connectors are good for 3 betting still getting back into the swing of things had a couple of top 100 finishes in the small games with large fields last cpl of nights but kept
getting cold decked with big stacks before i get to serious money
but its when short i am having trouble, although i went from 48k early in a 3r last night to 7k when the bubble burst after a few beats then upto 100k (2x average) when i ran my kk on button into sb larger stacks aq in sb
i can feel a FT coming but trying to plug leaks in my game which i feel are when i get short and when i build a large stack when i am about average i feel fine

2.50

fold pre.

also a far better question is how wide should we shove here.

Was thinking that.

I was thinking 88+, KQ, A10+, KJs

Probably struggling to fold a couple of smaller pairs as well tbh.

With some reads maybe go a bit wider.

thanks perfect answer

Yeah shoving 66 and 77 is good here as well imo.
