overpairs are in his range, right? so i should call, right? (apologies if this seems so trivial)

Call without blinking.
Villain's range is huge - but limited to those hands that would call a 4xbb raise pre-flop. Post-flop I guess all pairs 66+, 33, AQd, AJd maybe some suited connectors. There are only four hands you are scared of - AA, 5x, A4d, 46d. What 5x hand could villain hold to be calling your raise pre-flop - maybe 56s or54s but I doubt it. A4d or 46d is unlikely by the same reasong. So call - if you lose to quads or a straight flush then rebuy and get the chips back soon enough. For what it's worth, I put villain on 33.

call

insta call. it's gambling you've got a full house what are you waiting for, a straight flush which I assume he showed?

[miracleriver]

Thanks, I needed to hear it from other players. The guy turned over 54o for quads.

that sucks. Happens. But anyone who calls a biggish pre-flop raise with 54o in the small blind is someone I want to be playing with. Well played.

[davekp2003]

as they say shiat happens. It's all aboot calculated risk and if you weren't prepared to take that one foget aboot it. A lot of times you'll call and the guy will turn over nothing AQ or AJ sometimes QQ or JJ. But with KK what can you do?

[miracleriver]

i don't mind the result ... so much ... ok, trying not to. anyway, i take comfort that this was a must-call situation.

[Chopper]

at the 2NL level...dont ever fold this. hell, at 50NL i prolly wouldnt fold a boat...maybe higher.

overboat is rarer than overset and overflush. when you hit your boat, dont be afraid to get the money in.

sometimes he has it, a lot of the time he doesnt, so dont worry about paying the river.

[will641]

yeah he had it then, but most of the time he is doing that with something like a 4, 3 or 2, possibly an over pair. you have to call.

I think I'm the only person on this site that ever considers folding to overbet river shoves at lower stakes.

Seriously, to everyone who's suggesting that a small boat is doing this is just outside their damn minds.

What types of hands at small stakes overbet shove the river?

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ee

[daven]

What types of hands at small stakes overbet shove the river?

All sorts of muck. I could post some examples... top pair meh kicker on four cards to a straight and flush board, bottom straights on paired boards, bottom two on paired boards etc...

[Kagey]

yeah, overbet river shoves at low limits is just about always the nuts. This sort of hands happens with suprising frequency at low levels, SB and BB will call with anything. I wouldn't be suprised to see A5 in his range here either. This is where all your profit comes from, reload and be patient.
