FTP $24 - AQs is the nuts here?
What do you make of this min-raise here? Is it always a monster? Do we flat call? Button was about 20/7 over 500 hands.
Full Tilt Poker No Limit Holdem Tournament Blinds: t200/t400 3 players Converter Stack sizes: Button: t5310 Hero: t7320 BB: t870 SITTING OUT! Pre-flop: (3 players) Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to t800</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in t7320</font>

If he was stealing, wouldn't he raise more (a min raise here is probably a steal about 1/3 of the time?) ??? Flat call, bet 2/3 the pot on any flop, fold to any pressure, and wait for the BB to bust ... At least, that's what I'd do ... If you're the button, how would you have played a monster versus a steal ??? Heads up, stacks are close enough that this strategy still gives you plenty of chips if you have to fold post-flop (~5000) ... I just can't see giving up almost one full buy-in (3rd to 2nd) hoping it's a steal ... If it's a steal, odds are you win it on the flop ... If it's a monster, you're out ... ICM probably disagrees, but with BB sitting an sooo short stacked, I'm just not going to give up that equity ...

[/ QUOTE ] If you call and raise flop he can now go all-in with anything and you have to fold, well almost anything. As played its un-exploitable.

OP is the chip leader, he's not in second. This is an easy push. [/ QUOTE ] Geez ... Sometimes I just miss something so obvious ... Still has 2110 if loses, so yeah that changes things ... Easy push ICM-wise ... My apologies (although I might still stop-n-go here getting 4s-9s to fold post flop) ...
