Default Re: Orange Zone open-pushing

it's not stupid. i think your exactly right. M=7.5 is where i go into psuedo push bot mode. any hand like the A6 i would push. with a better hand that i felt was most likely to be ahead, i would be more inclined to just raise with the intention of pushing on the flop. but even in that situation i'm going into the thinking that i'm getting all my chips in.

the basic problem is that an M of 7 doesn't give you enough chips to play the hand out with noraml bets on every street. so if you play the hand you're going to play for all of your chips anyway.... might as well put maximum pressure on your opponent up front.
