Re: Early all in push - What is their range?
Wow - I'm limping WAAAAAY too many hands preflop. I play $10, so maybe it's different than $20 and up, but it seems like almost everyone limps unless they have a really big hand. I would limp Q2 and fold to a raise. If he checked preflop then bet into me on the flop, I would be prepared to lay down anything but a queen. If the flop paired the queen, I would have to put some thought into it. If I could show it down cheap against this particular opponent, I would, if not, I would have to get away from TPNK.
I guess what I really need to do is sit down and work out my starting hands. I've been playing damn near anything - only throwing away the worst hands preflop, mostly because almost every opponent I've had will let me see the flop. If I hit any part of the flop and they show weakness, I bet into them. It's surprising how often that works.
Let me be clear that this is just my reasoning and nobody should give it much wieght. I suck. I'm working my ass off at getting better, but realistically, I have a long way to go.
