Obviously K9s is an above average bvb hand...but I run into these situations alot in turbos and was just wondering if this call was +EV??

Good luck at the tables!

why do you have 5 big blinds?

super easy call. I would call that with 8 big blinds easily, especially if he was shoving on you a lot, and many more would call with more bigs and it would still be a good call.

i'm pretty sure you need to learn how to shove though.

especially at the low stakes everybody for the most part is too tight. shove more and you will see your profits grow.
