Hi guys!

Villain is a whale, 72/66, 70,6% 3bet. AF 4,8, 70% flop aggression.
I guess, preflop is pretty standard steal/call minraise 3bet, because BB was TAG (50% fold to steal) even though this guy is a whale, and if I steal here, I cant really fold vs a min3bet specially not IP.

OTF I thought call is not really an option here on this board, not to mention that we would become pot committed aswell. Would you push this here vs whale or not?

I would be careful with the term "steal" if you are trying to steal from a 72/66 :f_biggrin: And well played imho. Preflop you open for value, obv cant fold to his min3bet. Postflop I like your play as well. Top pair good kicker should be enough against such a player not to mention he is just a midstack so shove will probably be the best option. There are many cards you dont want to see on the turn. He will call you with many worse hands for sure.

72/66 is more like aggro fish than whale. I don't like your line, especially against such type of player.

He calls your shove random. What doubts do you have?

Well, I only have J kicker, and maybe thats why. But yes, you are right. The call from him is pretty much random. :)
