why not push preflop???? its only 14 bb's.

[Indiana]

hmmm yah i guess i should shove pre here....but is that optimal ???

[HokieGreg]

it's just such a tough hand to play postflop when you get called in this spot and dont flop a set. almost anything you cbet is pot-committing.

i think its an easy push against someone with a wide calling range, but i'd probably push preflop against anyone here.

Against a bad player, I definitely like a push pf. Against a good player, your hand looks exactly like what it is. As played, I bet and can't fold.

and if your NOT going to push pre flop... MIN RAISE at 15-20bb Ben, not 2.5x, you know this [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hey Indy , you did mention that he likes to call pre-flop .

Do you think he would have called your push with almost any two cards ?

If so , then it should be clear that pushing increases your $/h more than any other play you can think of . So on that note , I push hoping that I get called as a 57% favorite .
