Stacking a Donkey
 

Just bragging. It's my biggest pot I've ever won. It's nice when the table donkey pays you off.

In position like this, I think smooth calling the flop check raise and then shoving over their turn bet is a better line, but it obviously didn't matter here.

Congrats on a nh. :cheers:

I agree with your thoughts here. After I pushed all in, I was wondering what the hell I was doing, I probably just scared the guy out of the pot. Although, he did have a tendency to call down pretty light.

Wow I certaintly would shove in this spot approximately never

I agree, just call his check raise then push after his turn followup bet.

yes to all that said above, and what a flop for you to stack him with his hand.
