77 with limpers in front - down to final 3 or 4 tables
The open limper has tried this a couple of times already in my short time at this table and the guy behind him has followed a long. The first time I saw this I made a standard raise on the button (blinds were smaller) and they both folded. I've become one of the shorter stacks and I feel like there is a pretty good number of chips in the pot to try to take it down preflop but I found myself really wondering what the best play is here. Limp along seems terrible. Folding seems wrong. Standard raise could draw a squeeze by an observant big stack behind me. I think the best options are make a standard raise and call a push from any of the players left to act or just push now. Or is a fold really the best option here?

Seems pretty standard. Next time, you should read the SB's soul to determine whether he has a hand.

Push is fine.

I don't mind the push and would do it approx 50% of the time.
Although short stack at that table, your stack is still big enough to call looking to set mine. I'm not necessarily looking for a coin flip or dominated position when I still have 12+ BB's. |
