Good push?

hehe... I know that this is very tempting at the 6.50 level, but I think that it's a bad idea to just shove it. That being said, as opposed to the shove, I like a slight overbet... something like 180-250.

A little OT, but the idea of getting away from QQ preflop at the early levels of a low buy in SNG is one that is quite debatable. I think that in certain situations (ie facing a strong reraise from a solid reg after opening in EP), you ca fold it, but in most situations, you should take it.

Are you guys serious? I usually would bet to ~150 in that case but maybe I just suck...

[sence25]

they can't lay down ATo which makes it prolly fine,
but if you wan't to get all the beautiful girls just by playing poker, you won't get some shoving like 49bb.
you gotta show some gentlemanpostflopskillz.

Anyone play flops anymore or all just preflop masters of the universe

lol @ two callers

..and post-flop skills vs. a table of calling stations consist pretty much of pushing/folding. Why even let them see the flop for less than their stack if they're quite willing to pay that much?
