WPT Legends: shoving over limpers

[uclabruinz]

After a really tough day you find yourself with about 6k at 300/600/75 in the small blind holding K7o. You have only been at the table about two orbits after having been moved, but after being at a very tough table all day, this table seems very donkish. Older guy with a decent stack in LP open limps. Guy on button, another oldish guy, also limps. I have played one hand in the two orbits I have been at the table, open shoving and taking down the blinds/antes. Is this spot good enough to shove?

meh i dont think so, i feel like youll get called almost everytime, and your probably a little behind there limping ranges (i could be wrong about that im just assuming)

you win 2700 if they fold, im pretty sure I would shove here. it sounds like your image is fine as well. knowing their stacks would help.

That's funny, I feel exactly the opposite. Maybe that's why I suck live?

Anyway, the 2775 already in the pot is just too damn tempting for me. I mean, you're barely laying 2:1. I shove.

[uclabruinz]

FWIW, I feel this is a standard shove, but someone whose opinion I think highly of says its bad.

Stacks: first limper had about 45k, second limper had about 18k.

With someone who looks like you fine perfect, If someone <25 yearolds I don't like it.

I agree very much w this.

Seems like you got to push. Live players will often limp/fold. Even if you get called, you have significant pot odds, and your hand may not be in bad shape against a late position limp/caller.

Obviously, you would like a little bigger stack to push at limpers. This stack is better for pushbotting.

Think this is a shove. You'll get looked up here by 2s through 6s a lot because people won't fold pairs to this type of action, so you'll be at least racing.

You'll get looked up by AJ,A10,A9 too and probably KQ/KJ which we obviously hate.

There's a strong chacne though that the hands out there are just some connectors and some Ax hands where tight players will be afraid to make the call.

i would never shove here. these old nitty live guys wind up having hands as strong as JJ here open limping. its ridiculous. id certainly limp though for 300 more.
