BB Small stack facing miniraise

[omaha]

YOu have a couple of nice shoving hands at the 10bb level, assuming no one has yet entered.

But, they have entered, and with a raise.

My default tends to go to this- if they have never minraised, then fold, cause they prolly have a monster.

If they minraise everything, then, you must shove, and get them off stealing your blind.

Also really important is the position of the raiser. The closer they are to the button, the less i believe they have a hand, and vice versa

Thanks for your thoughts.
Since there was no reads so far from the minraisers, I was thinking a bit on the lines of omaha. I was facing either a monster or something quite weak.
Pushing into a monster means big pot with weak chances of survival, pushing into a weak hand probably wins me a small pot right away (which obviously is not that bad a result with my chip status). So am I thinking too greedy when I want to play poker (until flop, anyway) seeing a very cheap flop with a hand that has nice potential to double me up?

juz_nuts, why donk-push on spiking a pair with QT and scare all weaker (non-paired) hands? I suppose a contbet is expected in a great majority of times (as happened on both hands).

in case A id push your in the money and wanna get further
you got a nice hand to double up and your running low on BB
Push preflop

in case B id be like omaha and my action would depend on my read on villian did he mini raise be4 ? id push
is this the first time he did ? i just call and hope for flush straight or 2 pair else im done with it

Yeah...push KQ in $$$, call QT b4 $$$. Check-raise if flop top pair, lead out all-in if flop flush or straight draw.

Thanks guys, I'll have to think this over. I'm still not comfortable with pushing the KQs since the atmosphere of the table seemed to be 'double up with any A' and the minraiser was another below average stack.

Actually, if I had to choose, I think I'd rather push the QTs nearing money: the approaching bubble just might give some extra FE, and the hand is more vulnerable postflop even when flopping a pair. Any sense in this reasoning?

Oh jus_nutz, sorry about the misspell earlier [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
