$16 - QQ raise or push preflop?
Well...?
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) by Hand Converter CG UTG+1 (t685) MP1 (t2045) MP2 (t705) CO (t1450) Button (t2435) Hero (t2315) BB (t1795) UTG (t2070) Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 calls t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls t100, Hero ?? |
Re: $16 - QQ raise or push preflop?
I'd raise to like 525 based on MP2's shortness to entice him to get it in & BTN to fold.

Re: $16 - QQ raise or push preflop?
I think you're too deep to shove profitably here.
You could raise it to 400 (so a raise of 300 more). Then if MP2 shoves, and if the button calls you can then shove over. A raise to 525 forgoes the chance of shoving over a button call I think, since MP2's raise wouldn't be a full raise, meaning you can't 4-bet. (Of course, the btn would probably fold to an AI from MP2, but I still think the move is worth it for the few times it works.) |

Sorry, you're right - I meant not optimal.

I make it 500 and play from there. Hopefully I can get one of those shoving themself as in the short one of them. If they call, I gladly take whats in the pot at the flop [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Raise to 450 or a bit more, I'm shoving JJ in this spot.

[/ QUOTE ] JJ is much harder to play postflop with this stack size, and three possible overcards. A push is profitable with JJ, so many times players like to avoid awkward postflop play by pushing. With QQ, this isnt as much of a problem. |
