Push over limp folder?

[ultimatemike]

Final table of $33 buyin, about 450 runners, with 8 remaining.

Blinds just went up to $3k/$6k with an ante. I have about $59k before posting.


Reads: Button had been limping a lot and then folding to any raises. He definitely has a large range here.

Action:
All folds to button, who limps with $100k or so behind.

Very easy push then, given you have less than 10BB's and an A and only the BB to act behind you.

You probably have best hand, but any play other than jamming is not optimal here.

I'm glad to see my actions are matching up with your answers woodguy.


Results:
I push, he calls with AJo and MHING


As a secondary question: What do you think of button's play assuming that he was intentionally laying a trap? (since I'd been somewhat aggressive) Quite likely I think he was just playing at the 0 level, but if he were a thinking opponent, how is his play?

If he's a thinking player, it depends a lot on how you have been playing so far and how aggressive he would expect you to be in response to his weakness. But if he's a thinking player, he's also not limp/folding regularly in the first place
