1500 NL - shortstacked and approaching the bubble

Irish Mafia · #1 06-10-2007, 06:45 PM

Blinds are a gross 600-1200 w/ 100 ante. There are about 310 people left - 270 get paid. I'm nursing a stack of about 10,000. UTG, who is also quite short and has been playing quite tight, open-pushes for about 12,000. It folds around to me in the CO. I peak down at 7-7, I...?

Edit - I had my original stack size wrong. I was down to about 10,000. And its costing me 2800 per orbit.

Also, I should mention that while I play "to win" - this is also my first year at the WSOP - and I really wanted to cash, especially after 12 hours of play... but I don't want that to effect this discussion. a medium pair against a semi-desperate UTG push is not exactly a weak holding...

Probably has to be pushing about 44+,A9o+,A8s+,KQs until you can show a real profit from calling. I'd say they probably aren't pushing enough to make it correct to call in this spot.

Fold.

To call, you need QQ+, and maybe AK if you want to gamboool.

This short, I'm moving in with TT+, AQs+ for sure and probably 99+, AQo+ and perhaps even wider if there's some kind of read about how impatient he looked before he got his cards and how he reacts to his cards. 77 is a fold whatever though I think.

Renodoc, with an M of 3.5, you're seriously folding JJ to a push from a guy with an M of 4?

Reads on UTG? I think TT+ is just about right, I maaaaay slim that range down to JJ+ if I'm trying to just cash.
