($225) a very annoying common spot ITM.
 

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (3 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

BB (t3516)
Hero (t4254)
SB (t5730)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

What should hero's line be here? DDBeast is BB if it matters.

Re: ($225) a very annoying common spot ITM.
 

I'd muck if the SB is good. The person in the BB doesn't have that much effect on my play.

Re: ($225) a very annoying common spot ITM.
 

Since BB is DDBeast, fold and let him collect the moniez.

* But seriously, It's close and probably a fold since stack sizes are relatively close. Pushing can't be too bad.

Re: ($225) a very annoying common spot ITM.
 

I can't think of folding Ax 3 handed being EV+ when stack sizes are pretty much similar.

I push.

Luis,

Pushing is out of the question.

I'd definitely fold before I pushed. What about limping or raising to say 900 hands like this as long as you mix in a limp/raise to 900 w/ big hands sometimes too?

Then I am confused.
What would you plan to do if you don't fold? min raise? limp?
What if SB pushes you over?

Re: ($225) a very annoying common spot ITM.
 

Yes, limp or make a small raise.
