    wtf, insta-call/shove that shit.
    your pf raise was already way enough to kill the implied odds for him to play any hand weaker then AA pf. even if he outflops you here, you still +ev from him in the long run. not only that but he could easily be doing this move with AQ, KQ, TT, etc...

    no offense, but worst laydown ever dude..

    I dont think it's a bad laydown as such. Only the pot odds make the call pretty much mandatory, about 2:1 right

    Like Eclipse says there's no way we're behind that much (on average).

    No Ace and no King on the flop? This is a horrible fold. That's a profitable push by him if he has 7's, let alone that this is most likely KQ, AQ, AJ, or TT.

    Gotta call this. You raised to commit yourself. Backing off these raises is just bad poker. If you're gonna laydown to a push, just raise him to 400. I'm not a fan of that line, but it's the only logical way that you can fold here.

    Raise more on the flop so that you're even more commited, cause you really don't want to lay down the aces in this spot.

    screw what they are saying. While i do re pop all in, this is hardly an auto push imo.
    I get more ass than a toilet seat. All shapes/colors/sizes.

    You don't raise that large on the flop to fold getting better than 2:1. The M's involved are so low that Villian's re-shoving if he has TT, QT, JT, T9, AQ, KQ, AT, Q8. Even worse, folding pretty much puts him in push/fold anyway and this is so early that the short-stack fold equity is so small.

    Not an easy call looking at the cards, but I auto-call right when I see the number in the box I have to call and the number marking the size of the pot.

    Without the strongest read in the history of poker, it's an insta call for me.

    That said you may had the read that this guys is only caple of shoving that way if he has As beaten!
