Orange Zone open-pushing
PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION BEFORE RESPONDING TO THE HAND
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what to do in these opening in LP situations when the stacks are short. In the situation below, I actually had about 5,600 and just open-pushed. I think this is a pretty standard play w/ my M of 4, hand, and position (that is, opening in LP). My real problem w/ these types of situations is when I have slightly more chips and it’s unclear whether to just push, stick in some sort of non-push raise, or fold. Say an M of about 7 (or something similar).
*With what stack do you stop pushing in the situation below…?
*What do you do instead given your theoretical stack size? How do you handle being reraised or what is your plan for the flop?
I know this is a bit open-ended. These situations come up a lot though, and I’m wondering how good players are approaching them.
