Re: Should I be shoving this ?
I understand what your are saying, I just felt by raising this utg;
1. My hand is going to look a lot strong than what it is
2. If I`m called by top 7-10% of hands I have somewhere between 30-40% equity in the hand ( Providing its not a big pp )& 6 handed these hands are hard to come by.
3. I would rather do it with a hand like 56s than KJ etc that could easily be dominated if called.
However as you said & thats what happened I was called by a big pr, meaning I was about 3.5:1 dog.....this is top 2% of hands & the chances of someone having this are slim 6 handed.
That was my thinking behind the push but just wanted to know what you guys thought as you play these situations all the time. It looks like position is key here, as I have 5 others to get through .. but does my utg raise not show a certain amount of strength? . Surely if it was BB that was going to make the call they are going to call more lightly v lp raise than my utg raise ?
FWIW it was CO who called the bet
