Default Re: Sunday mill: avg stack to busto in 3 hands, too aggressive?

[ QUOTE ]
Hand 1: Notice all 3 stacks behind are less than or = 10BBs. (SB is close enough.) Therefore, I'm (usually) going to make one of two plays with a good but non-monster starting hand: Either open shove, or make a standard raise and fold to a push. If you are willing call about 10 BBs, you might as well maximize fold equity and open push. I would make the play you made only if at least one of the stacks behind were deeper and I wouldn't want to risk > 10BBs with an open push.


[/ QUOTE ]
I would just open push hand 1, since no one to act has more than 10xBB.

Once you get reraised, you are pot committed and have to call. You are suited, and have the odds to call if you knew villain had AK or KK.

OP's raise is pretty much the as pushing. Open folding from CO with these stacks is terrible.

Pushing > standard raise > limping > miniraise > folding.
