I don't see how you can even think of calling this push.

Sorry guys, I've just converted to NL from limit, and read the short stack section in GSIH. It didn't really discuss situations like this.

In that case, I think your going to have to size your preflop raises bigger so that you can still get a 100bb stack all in on the flop. Try a preflop raise of 30xbb and then a flop push. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I think you should move down until you have some basic rules internalised.

Rule 1: Don't call an all in for 95BB without being able to beat bottom pair.

I'll have to try that. I hope I can get some callers though.

You realise that you could fold AA here if SB is decent.

the point that no1 has mentioned is the fact that he only has 100$ so only has 60$ left behind wen the SB goes allin.
u shudnt be sitting with less than the buyin unless u feel you can play cash better with 50BB or watever... if the reason why ur posting is because u have so little left at a 200$ table wen the SB makes this move then just top up...then u wont have the 'but that leaves me with nothing' scenario that uv landed urself in.
either way, with 200 or 100, its an instafold.
