  • This is the final hand in the SnG Turbo (9max), playing heads-up against a calling station. 
  • In my notes, I have indicated that the villain is a calling station who wouldn't fold to any 3 bets or flop raise etc. 
  • When I raised flop, the villain just called my flop raise, usually indicating that he doesn't have a hand. 
  • I reasoned that if he does have a hand, he would shove to my flop raise since I am indicating strength and the board is so draw heavy. 
  • When he overshove turn, I instant call because in my previous hand with him, I folded when he shove. If he does have a hand, he will not shove turn because I am likely to fold. Hence, I made an instant call with Ace high.
