$22 - AQs after limper 60/120

vers · #1 09-17-2007, 01:40 AM

Hey, I'm not sure what's the best play here. Limping seems too weak IMO as I know utg is limping weak and is short. Only BB is a good player. Seems like I'm too deep to shove (though I think it might be the best option. I don't like limping once the blinds are past 50/100. It's too strong to limp and utg is limping really weak. I'd like to get him all in pre obv as a 3-1 fav. Raising to like 480 is weird, puts half my stack in and I don't want to get flatted by someone behind me. If that happens, the hand is obviously tough to play. The pot would be 1200 or so(if utg folds. I'll have 1500 left, have to shove any flop, which I don't like doing.

The stacks are set up good for you to raise here and get it in on any flop vs utg if he calls you.

I'm kinda worried about CO flatting behind me. Also, if I miss the flop and utg donk shoves into me, I pretty much have to call getting 3-1 on the money...

Dunno about you guys, but I love making it 400 here. Not 100% of the time, though. I limp behind maybe 25-30% of the time. Thoughts?

Okay you have about 17.25x bb here I see raising to about 480 the best move, calling is ok, then folding if you dont feel like risking a preflop raise then a cbet this could burn up 700-800 chips right of the bat thats why when i raise this hand I love to cbet but sometimes it just burns up too many chips at this point in sng, id probably fire one if no King hit.

With more then 15x bb you have many options with this hand and one limper btw.

i'd like to push here, since they will often flatcall a raise behind and we really want to get this pot headsup.
we are not so deep and there are already 300 chips in the pot which is >15% of our stack.

LOL I love it. I did shove but thought it was a pretty deep stacked shove. I was kinda embarrassed to post my full line.

Im probably looking to go 450ish here, but I dont hate a push and wouldnt be 'embarassed' by it

PS raising is 25% of your stack
