INSTA-FISTPUMP-SNAPSHOVE!!!

Having just watched the Turltle JJ video again Im more inclined to fold with only 500 invested, but with villain on the button and a decent stack his raising range is huge so Im not insta-fistpumping-snapshoving but more like insta-fingerwiggling-reluctantly shoving but getting them in never the less and expecting to be well a head of his range from the button if he calls.

Five-handed, with only twelve big blinds, I think this is a very clear shove. Within just a few more minutes, you will no longer have fold equity. And the odds of seeing another hand this good any time soon are slim. This playing style will earn you more bubble finishes, but you will be also be more likely to go deeper when you cash, which equates to a higher ROI in the long-term.

At what point are we saying we have no fold equity out of curiosity? When villain is getting 2-1 or better on calling ATC? or a specific stack size? 5-8BB?
