66 in middle position

Limper is laggy, should I limp or push? Pusher is TAG, bordering on LAG. Since I did limp, should I Call the push?

Thanks, Will

push preflop, this looks like an easy fold to me as is.

I'd dump it. I don't hate limping here with your stack size. Try and see a cheap flop and play for set value or a position bet hoping to take it down.

BB pushed with KQo, what do you think of his play?

r987r · #5 05-27-2006, 01:33 AM

bad because MP1 has a big stack

but if lots of ~15xBB people limped it woulda been good play

Do you think it's bad even though MP1 is very laggy whose most likely holding isn't much better than "two cards"? I was actually the BB with KQ. I just wanted to get some feedback on the villians play along with my own. I pushed figuring that even if I got a call from the big stack, I probably wasn't much worse than a coinflip. He could have been holding A-small, KJ, a small pp, etc.

Thanks,
Will

first question is kind of hard... fold, call, or raise.
1.Raising: you not that desperate to steal the blinds.. I don't like raising here.

2.Calling: probably best when your aganist bad players who are will pay you off when you flop a monster.

3.Folding: I kind of like this play because of the size of your chip stack... if you call and lose(which will be most of the time) you will lose 13% of your stack... you can't be doing this much more, or else you'll be on a very short stack.

It depends on the level of strength of your opponents, but I would probably call.

Second question is easy
This is an easy fold for Hero... your not getting correct odds to call. right now he's either a small favorite or a huge underdog. Fold and wait for more favorable situations.
