Villain is loose, with average aggression. My question is, how short does he have to be for you to push here?

EDIT: [censored], wrong forum, can someone move to SSNL?

Moderator, Please move this thread to the Psychology Forum.


@OP: I'd say he should have not more than about 28 behind, the size of his bet. His raise is strong and it seems to me could mean 2 pair or better unless he is pretty short stacked.

loneliness, Ted, that's the bottmom line.
what does Christmas mean to you? To me it was a liviing hell.
Do you know what it's like to be kicked in the face with an iron boot?

wtf form was this posted in?

Ill gladly stack off with TPTK here against someone with up to 50bb. It also depends on the specific player, there are shortstacks and then there are shortstacks...

[Guy Incognito]

I guess I should have posed this as more of a general question. One thing I've taken from the CR videos is that those guys are willing to felt any decent hand when villain has &lt;50% of a buyin or so left. Normally I would call the raise and fold to any significant turn bet unimproved, but I pushed here (he had 96 behind), and he of course had QQ.

[ajmargarine]

Meh, TPTK is the nutz for less than 50bb's IME. But, of course you're gonna lose a few.

[Guy Incognito]

Just to clarify, do you mean 50bbs for his starting stack, or after he raises the flop?
