$22: I got deuces, biatch

Posted because another 2+2er thinks this is a tad over-aggressive. I like the fact that I'm adding 20% to my stack if I'm not called... No particular reads on limpers, just your typical foolios that play too many hands.

Im a tad more conservative than you and not nearly as experienced as I typically play the $6's on PP where the competition is soft so with that said, I would agree with the other poster that that is a tad over aggressive [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img].

If you had reads on MP2 and CO that would indicate that they were pretty tight and would fold to your all-in or you were down to 1200 in chips where your M was under 10, I would think the push was ok but your M is still around 13 or 14 and you are at best a coin flip to win the pot if you did get called.

Personally, I would find a better spot to push but I also still have alot to learn. Im interested in hearing what others think

I like it and this is the type of play that I've been hesitant to add to the bag o' trix. The binkie is too comforting.

PVS w/the added bonus of actually having a frickin' pair and whatnot. Per se.

I don't like this at all. 22 sucks, you have 18xBB you're in goot shape, don't screw around. Be patient... you used to have a patient style... what happened?

I don't ever use the PVS readless, so maybe that's a leak of mine and I'm gutless. When I see it performed, however, it's called by mid-pairs pretty often, so I'd be more inclined to try it with KTo than 22.

I don't think the risk/reward is right, here.

Keep in mind, it's not a PVS. I have a pair.

this was the main point i was going to point out. the PVS in low limit SNGs, in my experience and while watching others play, is that limpers limp with A and Kx, and some lower pairs. when they call your all in, you will most often see the Ax, and probably some of those pairs. I am more inclined to pull a PVS here with A J or even A T then 22 here. they need to have a tighter image/#'s in your eyes to pull it with 22-55

I don't like it. I would check it here. I might consider this with 66+ if the limpers are liable to be weak but I just check 22 here.

jeffraider · #9 05-22-2006, 02:39 PM

No likey! We always used to talk about how they will call us frequently with any PP, and that's why this kind of move is good with 88-TT, etc. Well, they're still calling here, and while I like adding 20% to our stack without a call, I hate being 80% to get broke with 18BBs.

LOL sorry buddy [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Its a gambling move and the OP doesn't need to gamble this early with a coin flip situation just to win t350. t1850 to win t350?? You have to be joking [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'd prefer to save my all-in moves for later in the tournament when they might be needed.
