    - 3 out of 14 times while in small blind (21%)
    - 6 out of 82 times in other positions (7%)

    You have a very easy push preflop. Or you can do a "go and go" *not my term* basically, you raise a decent amount of your stack and push any flop if called, unless you hit then you might check and then call or whatever.

    On the flop, sure, you're going broke here, but why shove? why not check (raise) or bet smaller and hope to induce a shove or call from worse hands?

    by shoving, you fold a lot of worse hands that might call/or shove themselves, and if you just bet you are stacking off anyways to the better hands that call your shove but can get value from worse hands

    edit: also, lol that he had AA. that's simply bad luck and you were losing your stack this hand no matter how you played it.

    Calling with AA preflop is how all the real ballas play it.

    I shoved because there were 3 people in the hand 4 if you include me. You're right though, I was losing my stack here no matter what.

    But you shoved for 3x the amount in the pot.

    lets say you have AA, raise, and get 5 callers. The flop comes A K 8 rainbow. You open shove because there are 5 people in the pot who could bad beat you?

    also on this flop given there are still 4 players to act I think check raising all in is the best play for sure.
