Default Re: PS $6.50 Turbo: Raise w KQ or fold?

[ QUOTE ]
Is this a turbo? Will the blinds go up before they get to you? Maybe I need to rethink my game a bit but I'm shovin' here probably 95% of the time. I think you've still got enough fold equity with only two non random hands left to act. Plus, unless you've been playing like a real donk, they've got to know your not shoving atc here. With a stack this short your not apt to get many hands better than this in the next couple orbits.

edit: yep, turbo, didn't read the title well enuf.

I would only be raising there if you are going to continue regardless of the flop. Or if you are comfortable with losing that 250 if an ace shows up. Im in favor of continuation against known weak oponents but I think here you are really looking to pick up the blinds without a fight if you are unsure you can carry off continuation. Maybe until you are comfortable getting aggressive in stages through betting rounds you should take the decision out and shove. Im not a fan of KQ suited or otherwise unless im seeing a flop. These days even with a shove you are looking at any pair calling as they justify calling off with any pair with "I put you an AK". If something doesnt feel right you fold it. Im all for Lagging out as a preference but I know if it feels wrong for the situation I would rather have a small stack that I have to work hard than no stack at all.
