Villain is 15/9 over 100 Hands

PokerStars, $3.16 + $0.34 - Hold'em No Limit - 150/300 (25 ante) - 4 players
Replay this hand on Upswing Poker

UTG: 1,410 (5 bb)
BU (Hero): 4,219 (14 bb)
SB: 2,781 (9 bb)
BB: 5,090 (17 bb)

Pre-Flop: (550) Hero is BTN with K 5
1 fold, Hero raises to 630, 1 fold, BB calls 330

Flop: (1,510) Q 6 4 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets 480, BB calls 480

Turn: (2,470) A (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets 3,084 (all-in)

PF steal should be good against tight blinds. Flop is good for a c-bet.

On the turn we pick up a FD on the scare card A♥: ! Often I will just check here as we are clashing with the big stack on the bubble and should be really careful. I think a Q might actually fold here so will a 6 or 4. We also picked up some equity which made me shove it here.

Thanks in advance for your help!

What´s villains resteal?

Shove turn is massive +chip EV maker especially when he is so nitty and should be folding all the Qx on the bubble with shortstack behind, but this argument might also mean that he has some Ax in x/c range otf, so whether it is also +$EV shove I´m not sure as much, imo rly depends on opponent - especially against nitty reg who knows in this spot all Ax must be shoved I say WP if we play Ax value the same way

I would 3bet more even on this dry flop vs one opponent. smth like 650-700. With this sizing most hands wont fold. On the turn I tend to be checking back because most fish play ax this way and he got you covered. I choose the lower variance route because of that and try to realize my equity. On the river I would fold without improving. This works better the more you cbet because this gets you the info you need to be beat most of the time if he fires after calling flop. If you cover him in can be a different story because you can go for icm pressure instead.

Could shove pre I guess, but don't really hate min opening.

Like the small flop bet, think we wanna go even smaller tbh. small sizings seem to be really good in ICM spots from what I have heard. Turn hits our range super hard, so you want to continue betting at a high frequency with a linear range, so just go with a small sizing again.

Thanks for your input, everybody! Some very good points in here :f_thumbsup:

I am happy that my thinking isn't completely flawed. What I also take away is that if I am the big stack here we should be pressuring more and as a mid-stack we might want to rather take a passive line (check behind). That all makes sense!

Wow I really underestimated our shoving range in this spot. We are supposed to jam more than 60% here according to Nash even though we are jamming into the big stack on the bubble having 5 BB and 9 BB short stacks on the table. I still don't mind my min-raise, but thanks for pointing out how huge our range should be in this spot.

Against a passive BB it's fine to min open, and in general against the population at these stakes it's probably fine too. But if min open is you go to sizing BB can shove ATC and you can only call 88+ and AKs.
