dude, its a CO raise 6 handed, not UTG

[/ QUOTE ]

Well the scenario I assumed was, the exact same betting from the same positions, but with MPs folding. Fair enough, in the case of an original raise from the CO rather than UTG, even 6 handed I would not fold either.

I still think a min raise is not a good move. Why should I let a donk hit his ace for cheap? Unless you are saying that you fold on an A high flop ...

: puts head in hands :

if he isn't calling a push and is calling a 2.5x raise i'll let him try to hit his A high flop all day long

[/ QUOTE ]

lol I said minraise not x2.5 ... we are misunderstanding each other a lot

I'm happy with x2.5 raise, but I'd still prefer to shove.

why am i hearing that a cold 4bet push looks weak?

[/ QUOTE ]

That's a good point. I don't really know the answer but fish tend to "put you on AK" every time you 4bet a pot. I've had people call me down with 66, 77, TT, even 22 etc. in 4bet pots before.

fousekis, he likely has a hand that wants to see a flop before comitting all his chips, like JT or 99 or something, let him. It's that simple really. A small 4b looks insanely strong here anyway, moreso then a push probably, but that's not the point. He doesn't think about it like that.

Yes, I'm happy with either a shove or a x2.5 raise. The only thing I'm not happy with is the minraise.

the problem is we are giving the button great odds to call with marginal hands, as he'll realize SB will come along anyway
