$60 -$60 - AQ 3 handed with a short stack
Didn't really wanna bust out in 3rd with the guy to my left having 1.5 BB, so I called hoping he'd move in and we could knock him out. Am I better off just shoving preflop here? What I'm most worried about is having the shortstack fold and the bigstack calls with 55 or KJ and knocks me out.

I like a call here. Position is good. I think this would be very close in terms of EV, possibly being negative. ICM experts will be able to give you specifics in that area.
IMO you played it right. NH. |

You have enough chips that pushing preflop is ok.

AQ is too good. Just push.

Stick em in. Hes got to give you credit , and theres a lot of chips to be made right there.

So what's the plan after you limp? You calling if the BB moves in? I'd just go all-in.

[/ QUOTE ] I'm not sure how wide you think SB is calling but if calling ranges are as follows: SB 60% BB 100% it's still +EV. |

too short, AQs fares quite well, stick it in.

Re: $60 -$60 - AQ 3 handed with a short stack
Sounds like most people are saying its a push, which looking back I guess I can see. If that's the case, what sorta ranges would people be shoving here... would you push TT? 77? AJo? A9o? I know it depends on what sorta calling range we think the BB is on, but what do you guys think?

Def shove with AQ ITM. If it were bubble, probably fold would be best. You're not trying to fight for 3rd or 2nd place now - you want 1st!

[/ QUOTE ] i suck at giving ranges, so this is good practice for me. i'll say 77+,AQo+,AJs+,KQs+? prolly too tight. not much difference between 2nd and 3rd, so we can be pretty aggressive, but no reason to go overboard since we have a very good chance of folding into 2nd. |
