Good push or just plain stupid?

Hand 1- Perfect
Hand 2- I fold that given the stacks. If you must make a raise, go to 950 or something small and fold to the push.
Hand 3- push
Hand 4- push
Hand 5- fold or push, it's pretty close here IMO, but I fold.
Hand 6- I make it 520 to go or something like that and fold to a push.

Hand 2 - I go ahead and push after UTG's fold. t700 already in the pot is well worth the effort in this spot as you MUST punish the 2 smaller stacks.

Hand 5 - Fold

Hand 6 - I push everytime when the antes are in play here, when they arent, I still push MOST of the time.

skier_5 · #4 04-24-2006, 08:24 PM

1. For a 100 chips im probably calling here and folding to any more preflop action.
2. I'm open pushing this. You'll fold some hands that may have reraised.
3. Push.
4. I'm pushing this too.
5. I think I'm folding this.
6. Pushing as well.

ger664 · #5 04-24-2006, 08:52 PM

1. Okay
2. Push
3. Push
4. Push
5. Fold
6. Push

Thanks for the responses. Anyone have SNGPT to punch in Hand #2 and see what it says?

smartalecc5 · #7 04-24-2006, 10:29 PM

any reads or ranges?

From what I remember they were the standard $6.50 donks and would probably call with 55+, A8+, KQ. Then again I could be way off... this was one of 10 that I played today.

Hand 1.--> I'd fold preflop. Calling isn't terrible and I play the same after the call.
Hand 2.--> If your going to raise and fold to a reraise make it 850.
Hand 3.--> I raise to 450.
Hand 4.--> Push
Hand 5.--> Fold
Hand 6.--> Push

Hand #1 - I play exactly the same, just really for set value. You have nice implied odds with all these guys in.

Hand #2 - An easy push for me and I don't see how people can consider folding? Pushing is for me the only option. You have ~10xBB. ATo, and the short stack in the SB, if BB wants to tangle after SB folds he's going to have to pick up a hand, and you're still not crippled if called. Shove it in there!

Hand #3 - Push, any other raise sucks here as it's putting in a large chunk of your stack.

Hand #4 - Yes I push over the top, regardless of reads they don't matter to me here just shove it ALL-IN.

Hand #5 - Fold. AJo isn't a great hand in this spot when it's likely you'll be called and many hands dominate you. You want to push as first in - or if pushing over the top have a hand stronger than this.

Hand #6 - Not a bad push, I like it. Raising to anything less and folding to a push pretty much sucks here.
