Break-Time Musing

I spoke to Jamie Burland during the break. He's currently on 2,700 after a rather uneventful opening two levels. He did play one slightly interesting pot, raising it up to 250 from the button with 
before being called in the small blind by Vic grinder Julian Quance.
Burland fired out on the 
flop, but then checked back on the 
turn and 
river. Quance revealed 
for top pair.
Burland was wondering how profitable shoving the river would be (an all-in would be around twice the pot), thinking he could get his opponent, who was playing pretty tight, to fold top pair. But although Quance is a solid player, he's also rather shrewd, and could possibly smell out the bluff and make the call.
"Would be great if I'd shoved it in," added Burland, "and he'd deemed the over-shove to be a bluff and made the call with tens or something and turned my hand into an accidental value-shove."
