How much of a gambler am I?

[The Tripster]

At this point I think we are 12 out of the money in the $1050 event but somehow in the past minute 10 people are out. Button is a big stack and is playing well. He has 90K and I have 11K. He makes it 4K (blinds 500-1000). I shove from big blind knowing he is raising pretty much with any two since he probably thinks I am going to just fold into the money. The 2K doesn't really affect me. He's calling with nearly all hands here since he's just getting 2 to 1. Looking back at this I think I was trying to hard to build a chip stack up and should have just folded. How wild am I?

Edit: Opps, I have 55 here.

You push blind? I don't like it, there are some hands you should just fold here.

with zero FE,that's a marginally bad push against a big stack. This is the perfect scenario for a stop n go.

I was thinking the same thing about the stop n go, but if I saw a nasty flop I don't think I would follow through with it. I guess I should just close my eyes and shove the flop. lol

i don't really mind it.


looks like an ok spot to try a stop and go since you have about 0 fe.

With 55 I like it. I thought you were going to say you had K4 or something.

Stop and go would be OK too, I don't think I would ever fold here against such an aggressive player.

I don't get how a stop and go is good at all.

If the 2k is nothing, then we're looking for the most +EV decision.

A stop and go with 55 against a random hand is giving up an incredible amount of equity versus a straight shove.
