this is best. Just raising leaves you open to get re-raised and make you fold your hand. Just crappy result that you ran into a hand.

The push is +EV, me think but this deep I prefer an open raise but I don't think I could fold when he reraise so I guess it does not matter a lot here.

Just a cooler bvb. You raise, he'll call like every time with that stack so a standard raise kinda sucks. Shoving is fine.

in the future, don't include results in your post.

Wouldn't a raise be best if BB were a tight player?

I didn't see any read posted and its a $3.40 so prob best to just assume BB is loose.

Re: 3.40 10man turbo, bubble play
 

The push is certainly unexploitbale, but on higher limits/vs. tigher opponents I like a raise. If a tight player then repushes I can find a fold here but on the low-limits I think shoving is fine here.

Say he's fairly tight. You raise, he calls.

Flop comes KQ high. He checks.

Are you ahead? Are you still going to push? See the dilemma? You get more money in with the go and go but you quite often hit flops that make you go OMG.

You are thinking the upside is that you don't go bust against the hands you don't want to be called by; I am thinking the downside is that you don't fold out some of his range that a push would make fold, and those hands can now draw out on you on the flop. Of course, there's extra upside from getting calls from KQ/KJ, which would fold, and flopping it T high. I'm not smart enough to figure out which is better, but I do know that I hate flopping overcards sufficiently that I just push.

Edit: This is considering only whether he calls. A thinking villain is going to push over you a ton here. I note that Niggel wants to fold to the push. In this spot though, most of what villain pushes over is behind you, and you are just handing him chips.
