This wasn’t anything that I planned from the get-go. It was just that on each street, I kept feeling like he could be weak enough for an underbet to show a profit. I almost shoved the turn, and then I was like, “Screw it, 80% of what he folds to a shove probably folds for 1/3 pot”. Given that he called, that might not be true, but it just made the river shove that much more profitable. By the way, Villain has only about $260 left in his stack, so even though I potted it, the shove was effectively half-pot.

Looks like he may have caught something on the turn. Your river bet may well have gotten him off a better hand (or not, of course, if he missed a heart draw with < AX). Nice play.
This is almost like a pot-limit hand because of his medium stack. I think it's a good example of making sure there's enough left in both stacks for a big bet on the end.

I notice in your HHs (not necessarily this HH) that when you bet/raise you often do it to amounts like 1,666, 889, etc.
Do you have a software program running that spells out amounts to bet/raise to achieve a certain percentage or pot odd?
thx,

I’m torn on a river shove here – aside from AQhh, AJhh and AThh, hard to see a reg folding many other hands on this river that we beat?
Certainly he jams any pair he 3-bet pre, no?
