Default Re: do i suck?

some reads would be nice

once you make that big opening range, you need to call the push, pot odds are just way to be good to be folding. you need about 36.8% for neutral chipEV and 33 has 40.6% vs 66 A8s A9o KQo KJs.

but like others have said, open to 250, it would be a lot closer but folding to the bb push would then be the correct play.

i'm probably folding this like 95% of the time, and the other 5% is when the table is super tight.

Always watch the stacks of the blinds, you should just let this go. It is playable at times but this isn't it. You don't suck but save for a better spot.

I would either Limp or Fold, specially if his playing loose.

you cant beat anything. literally. the only possible hands you can be a favorite over are hands with a 2 in them. There is no reason to call off your chips, even with these blinds, when there is almost a 0 percent chance you are any better than a coin flip. Find a better spot.

Just fold, 3's blow, our stack is nice and it's early, no need to get cute.

Edit: I mean fold instead of stealing, def fold to the raise.

Steal raise is fine. Limping is fine (IIRC Curtains has made some good posts about the open limp on the button tactic).

Just don't raise for value.

I wouldn't limp and rarely ever open limp on the button. Honestly almost never did it in SNG play, except for very rare occasions. I prefer raising to 250-275 here and then just folding if getting reraised.
