Re: Is pushing bad here?
 

This depends on your assessment of a random $215 player's reraising range. Unfortunately, this is something that I can offer no input on, except for some thoughts.

His range certainly includes QQ-AA. It may include JJ and AK, and it likely does not include TT or AQ. It certainly does not include 99 or AJ.

Do you think you have any FE? Probably not.

That is completely ridiculous. I think you're referring to FJ saying that someone good never calls with QQ preflop.

Re: Is pushing bad here?
 

I would probably see a flop and get it in on most of them.

Re: Is pushing bad here?
 

I don't think pushing there is so bad. I've seen a lot of players re-raising there with AK and smaller pairs. But some days they show up ACES and KINGS. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Is pushing bad here?
 

fwiw, I pushed and he folded.

Re: Is pushing bad here?
 

Without a read this must be a fold, but then I suck a SnG's. In pratice I think I'm pushing 50 % and always against AA.

Re: Is pushing bad here?
 

I play 215s and I push this. I think generally speaking it is a pretty slim spot but I just can't fold it. I just see too much weird sh$t to give them ubercredit here.

Re: Is pushing bad here?
 

Obviously you can't fold here but don't push.

Re: Is pushing bad here?
 

I'd call with position. If no A or K hits on the flop and he has AA or KK im still going broke. But, If an A or K does hit, I can get away to a big reraise or re-reraise.

Fiery this was me in the hand with you. Imo this is a bad push, from my point of view you are only getting called by a better hand aa kk at this stage of the game. I checked my histories because i couldnt recall the hand and found that i folded jj. My point being i will play aa kk the same way and probably call w kk. Good hand either way.....glad to see you won it ....Good luck

Re: Is pushing bad here?
 

On a range of AK+, rarely AQ, this is a call, evaluate flop spot since you can a see a flop so cheaply.
However, there is some chance he is a donk, who is donking it up with Ax as I have seen AJ and A5 do this at the 215s.

If he had made it a 3x reraise, I could see a fold without a read that he was a donk.
I think you are technically getting pot odds to chase a set, so call.

You play your big pairs terribly fwiw.

Re: Is pushing bad here?
 

Explain....In my view i have a strong hand that i need to define right now. I Represent aces or kings with this reraise and if he calls the flop raise i have position. I dont see how you can fault a reraise in this spot and a fold to a push here. Opinions
