Default Re: $33: Time for a stop n go?

The question is, are you better off open pushing the hand before, regardless of what your hand is?

im not really too thrilled to s'n'g here. mainly b/c i think we have decent fe against the 3rd stack. it would depend on the looseness of the table for me and most importantly if im getting opportunities to open pots.

i think id really like a read here. got any?

[/ QUOTE ]

The table was loose, and I wasn't getting any chances to push. Under these circumstances I'll generally try a stop and go.

yeah, sounds reasonable then.

just hate getting tangled up with the biggie without much FE postflop. in times like these i generally look to see if there were any spots before this where i might have missed a razor thin push.

Should I have pushed here?

nah, the blinds arent super huge or anything... and we would have to be pushing into the two biggies' blinds.

The absolute size of the blinds doesn't matter. The size of the blinds relative to our stack does. And HERO had about 8BB.

If you put the SB and BB on loose ranges SNGPT says its -0.8 to push

yeah, i meant relative blinds by default. maybe i should choose my words more carefully next time [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] . ive never messed around with blind discounting so im not sure but i dont think a push is worth taking ~ -2% EV or whatever so im definitely not shoving any two.

Does any one look for a check raise all in here? i try this once in a while. my thinking is if i open push i will only get called when i am behind and villian will fold when i have him beat. with a check here villian will almost certainly cbet here and thus i will sometimes get all in here ahead and double up combined with the times when he is ahead. thus i win more when he doeant hit and still lose the same when he does hit. is this thinkin flawed? obviously i only do this when i hit something like bottom pair like in this situation. if i dont hit at all i open push so that i have maximum FE.

No, check raising all in with bottom pair is a bad idea. You don't want a call even if you have him beat.
