I don't like it. Too much risk for too little reward. A read might make it OK.

[Beerocrat]

Readless, I don't care for it either. If Gumbie does this enough for you to think he is doing it with ATC, it MIGHT be different. You only have 150 chips in, not much at stake and Gumbie is the only one who can cripple you.

Pushing here is bad. Risk/Reward ratio of course.

[Mike MacIntosh]

Its too early for this play. Let him take the smaller pots now and then punish him later when the blinds get larger. You are risking your big stack with a marginal hand to win a minimal amount of chips. This is not a good play in this situation.

Think most people addressed the risk/reward concerns.

One thing I "like" about it...assuming that he folded...you've established in one swoop a very specifc image which you could exploit...assuming you are able to switch gears back to a more tempered TAG.

[shakyamuni]

true - but as we have to open up toward the bubble this works against us and we may be called lighter than preferred...

I like it. Show them early who the boss is and you`ll get walked later pretty often. Make him think that he plays for all his chips if he wants to mess with you.

The 600 raise is like never a monster. In a 16$ this is prolly a cheap steal attempt. Punish him!

This is really bad advice. You are advocating that we risk 3450 of our 4600 chips to win 750. Are you thrilled when Villain calls, wins a race, and you are down to 1300 in chips b/c you gambled w/ 33 to create a "table image"?

without any reads this is very marginal imo. if he's capable of raising lots here i think it's ok, but as others have said there isn't much in the pot and it isn't good for metagame w/ the upcoming bubble.
