Re: 16$: A9
 

I would be hard pressed to push this pf,A9 isnt a hand that plays well oop.As played u cant fold in my opinion,u beat most Aces(since higher aces mostly raise pf) and the draws so push over his min raise.

Re: 16$: A9
 

I engage half of my stack so I have now 3 to 1 odds (since if I don't fold I will finish allin for sure). The question is, Am I winning this hand more than 25% of the time ? And it's obvious but, during that hand, I was guessing that I was beaten ...
Looks terrible I understand.

Re: 16$: A9
 

Shoving preflop is fine, as played it's a pretty tight laydown and I'd probably just get it in after investing such a large portion of my stack.

Re: 16$: A9
 

Easy push pf.

Re: 16$: A9
 

Definitely push

Re: 16$: A9
 

instead of folding id put it all in on the flop too

Re: 16$: A9
 

You can't fold the flop.

push pre I guess. Even though you have a bigstack its unexplotiable 0.2 ev against both loose and normal opponents. A80 is fine to. A7o seems to be very very marginal, probably not a shove. A7s you can shove though.
