Re: What\'s the Right Move Here? Final Table of $20K Guaranteed $3R
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] The blinds were 30/60k right? Something like 100+ k in the pot before any cards are out? 10% boost or more to your stack to take whats in the middle? You got around a million, you have a great hand, why not instead of 3x raise raise half your stack knowing you will call any push or just open push all in? The blinds and antes at this point you should be glad to take down without a showdown. [/ QUOTE ] Because if the other guy has been restealing against you aggressively, and you've been folding to his aggression, why not make him think you have a hand that you're capable of raise/folding again, as opposed to raising so much that he only gives you action when he has a hand better than yours? [/ QUOTE ] Well I could see this if our Hero was on the button with said villain in the BB with his hand, but here he's in MP.

Hero is the Hijack here, 8 handed. I shove this back in his face a gambool. AQo is good enough here to shove and you need chips seeing you are 7/8. If I'm villian, I'm calling your shove with anything reasonable. I dont need a hand to reraise you but I do need something better than 72o to call here.

[/ QUOTE ] I always feel like open pushing for that many chips shows weakness and then people with hands like 88 or so call assuming they have a race as their worst case scenario. I wasnt severely short stacked, nor was I that far back from most of the pack, so I didn't feel that open shoving was the right move here.

[/ QUOTE ] Well think of it this way, if you raise 3x there, 88 shoves it in. You fold? Or do you call? Now instead, you just open shove, 88 still might call, but then again he might fold, hes put to the decision, not you. Which would you rather be?

[/ QUOTE ] To be honest, with the amount of chips I had and with the decent read I had on most of the players at the table, I'd rather be the one to decide simply b/c there were a few that if they moved in, I was insta calling and 2 of them I would have folded in a heartbeat b/c they were locked boxes.
