Folds to Hero who pushes 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I'm wondering at what stack size of villain I prefer to raise and fold a certain part of my range to agression and push another part.

Re: Standard push, right?
 

I think the push is good because he'll most likely only call with hands that have us crushed and a few that we flip with.

pushing is +EV

folding is lol, but just raise

Re: Standard push, right?
 

As long as you have $24 or less moving in is +Ev even if your opponent knew your cards. If this is more +Ev than a standard raise is another issue.

Yeah folding is out of the question. Just found my copy of NLHTP and a push is > folding up to 48ish BBs but the real question is if I want to raise normally.

I feel like I get into a lot of strange situations if he calls the raise due to stack size issues and me not playing well in those situations. I also think that some players are more likely to call some hands that they would fold to a push like JTs.

I'm also afraid he could push ATC over the raise and force me to make wrong laydowns there.

you should never raise/fold a pair vs a stack < 20BB
