Tilt 32k: Squeeze all in with rags?
 

CO has open min raised from LP a few times already. The BTN is unknown. I've been aggressive but not out of line. Is this good or bad?

If CO has been doing it frequently AND you's seen BTN call before (not necessarily CO, but just anyone) then I like it.

If BTN is a known player, not so much.

God this is so much better with a hand that has some sort of equity when called.

Well, yeah, but if CO has been continually min-raising and BTNs chips in there too it's a great spot regardless of cards, but it still all comes down to your read on BTN's flat-call so it's tough for us to say.

Thats why you do it when he won't call, like this hand.

BTN was relatively new to the table and hadn't been very active that's why I didn't have much of a read on him. So, with a solid read on CO but nothing on BTN, is this good or bad?

Is it bad that this never even crosses my mind? I see 82o and auto-click fold... I would pull this with some kind of suited connector, this just seems bad to me.

Re: Tilt 32k: Squeeze all in with rags?
 

agree with pudge even a hand like acerag suited would be much better to do this with. Or if you were a little shallower so you were risking less but had basically the same amount of FE then this would be better, but I dont think this is +EV

LOL really? Ax has better equity than 28 when called? NO F-ING WAY!!!!



And yes, I think you pass up a ton of value if you don't sometimes utilize spots like these. Without a read on BTN I'm not sure I could do it with 28, suited connectors or broadways might make it a little easier it's tough to shove 28o with absolutely no read.

Still tho, if you have aboslutely no history with BTN and he's a complete random, I don't think a shove is BAD.

man u suck, all i was saying is that a hand that is often dominated when called like Ax would be a much better choice because it does better vs 88,99,TT especially no need to be a dick about it
