Nl50 SH ~ 104o ~ MORE Value? (AGAIN!)

he could call with bottom pair, a lower pair'ed hand, or JKQKJQ sorta hands.

im not sure about shoving river. What about his 10x hands, he couldn't call a ship with them

If he calls enough Ax hands you should just get the value from those. You block Tx so he is actually more likely to have Ax for showdown value hand.

There's a thin line behind getting more calls and maximizing overall value against his range. Getting called more often is not always better than just 'coolering' the top of your opponent's range (Ax in this case). If he folds Ax then you obviously reconsider the same as you do if his value range that beats you increases significantly on a specific card, like a flop flushdraw completing draw against a fishy opponent. That gives him many flushes usually so your value is thinner because he calls less often AND has you beat more often.
