thought a bit of about how much would be right, esp out of position...would this be about right? pot was 250 when it got to me

I prob go to like 200. At 350, youll have &lt; 1 PSB if you get a couple of callers which is kind of trying your hands.

Also, and maybe some other micro players can chime in here, and a lot of tables you can push this in a micro expecting calling ranges to be 66+/AJ+, but I don't know about that.

[Micro Donk]

200 seems kinda small. especially with a raise and 5 callers already?

[mflip]

Any way we are calling and playing for set value?

[Micro Donk]

i thought about playing for set value, but it seemed like my hand was very likely to be ahead, and i wanted to get it in while it still was

[donquay]

a lot of the time I'd shove here...often you'll get someone calling with a weak ace a9 and less or k9s (because it's sooted)...or even better a smaller pair thinking "oh this guy's stealing and I've got a pair already so I'm in good shape"

sometimes I'll raise to 300 but it still invites the same callers as if I'd shoved...thing is if you make it 300 and get a couple callers it's tough to put them on a hand if an A, K, or Q come on the flop (and I don't have much left behind to take a courtesy stab at the pot oop)

anyways usually I figure it's a micro and just shove because I love the chance to double up early against someone calling w/ a4s.

[Micro Donk]

thought about shoving too, and it probably would have been an extra option. been spending a lot of time at the cash games and in a lot of 3 bet pots so that may have entered my mind

[degenrat]

i think it's a shove. 55-1010 are callign you as well as Aj-AK.

if you run into a monster so be it, i think i shove here.

[Micro Donk]

yea i prob should have shoved. heres the results. i got really lucky
