Re: Trying to balance this position and stack size stuff on the bubble
Here's how I play utg with this stack size:
First off, if I raise, I'm getting it in pf or on the flop. If I raise, it's a pot committing raise, with the hands I raise with I raise to 3k.
My range is: AT+, 66+. What that does is:
Make my flop decision easier, the pot and my stack will both be about 6k so I'm shoving any flop.
Get some action from weaker hands I have dominated, yes idiot 4.4 players will call a big raise with Ax, Kx. I want them to call with A5 when I have AQ.
Keeps you from flipping vs an idiot player who calls your AT ai with 33. If you raise to 3k, that 33 doesn't look so good and you give villain 2 opportunities to fold, pf and on the flop, which you may or may not have the best hand, thus giving a player a chance to make a mistake.
btw, this is copied from one of sherman's posts.
22 is too weak for this stack size. If I was much shorter I would shove, if I had a big stack I might make a standard raise.
