i like the first two- how many people left when this 99 hand happened? since UTG is the chipleader by far i might just push and hope he'll call me with a wide range as it seems your chipstack needs help. i'd go push > fold > call.

johnnyblaze · #5 06-07-2006, 02:23 PM

theres about 90 people left or so

mlagoo · #6 06-07-2006, 02:23 PM

the second one is kinda iffy, but i'd at least call.

edit: i mean third one; second post.

I generally push the 3rd hand. UG is deep enough that his range is huge, and his calling range includes pairs <99.

ok so i am posting more than 2 hands here in actuallity becuase i dont wanna create any more posts I am about 3 players getting knocked out till were in the money but im way shortstacked is this push standard?

agreed, depending on the table dynamic at the point, anything between about 23-24 on (18 pay in these 4$) im pushing A8s+ 55+ and KQs here (prolly tighten that range up a bit because we're UTG+1 & @ 8 person table) but when at a shorthanded table you've gotta open up considerably on the bubble bc the payouts are so top heavy.

Thoughts on my range, JBlaze- say you have
1. A8s
2. 55
3. KQs
in this AJs example, still a push? Is this marginal? If we consider antes here- blinds @ 300/600 with 50 antes. Thats 1300 per round, you're at 5180; M = 4.
