2 folds, HERO ??

I'd usually fold here, but blinds increase to 150/300 next hand. Do I take my chances here, or wait and try some steals?

[pineapple888]

There have been some lengthy discussions about this situation in the past.

My reasoned opinion is that the blind increase should have a very minor effect on your current decision, because you will still have a reasonable stack if you just fold eg you will still have FE even if you fold through the blinds.

So it comes down to the current risk/reward, and if your read is that shoving is immediately -$EV, then just fold it.

this is basically unexploitable; id shove.

[Jbrochu]

I would normally push this even if the blinds weren't going up next hand.

[alex-star]

fold against from your position. shove in the CO.

I start shoving AJ here from the hijack.

I initially disagreed with you but then after consideration I like this. that said in game I probably just shove a high % pf the time.

[Scotty_12]

I am shoving here 99% of the time, this is the bottom of my range though. 77 is also a shove

I disagree, with 9x BB I am open shoving AJs from any position.

From the HJ I think it's close with you stack.
