PS 60$ - AJ vs caller and Loose shortie push

Luisgallo · #1 09-15-2007, 04:21 AM

Shorty is bad and probably tilting after he lost most of his stack in the previous hand, no reads on button.

I am pretty sure i am ahead of shorty.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

CO (t1835)
Button (t1530)
SB (t610)
BB (t2765)
UTG (t1440)
MP1 (t3880)
Hero (t1440)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
2 folds, Hero raises to t150, 1 fold, Button calls t150, SB raises to t610, 1 fold, Hero?

Folds, you need aqs/99 + to call here and btw those arent even ev+ calls.

i would push with a good read on the shorty

forget about the button for a second. after sb's raise, there are 500 dead chips. so you need to call 460 to win 1420. if he is titling/bad i would think AJ would be about even with his range in this situation. so easy call/push if no button.

back to the button. calliing the raise and inviting the button into the hand would be bad, so you need to push or fold. the button would typically reraise you preflop with JJ+ AK. so the only hand of his that really screws you is AQ, but i think if you push he would fold it. so i like a push here. i think button is gonna fold a TON.

Easy Push, short stacker could have lots trying to squeeze, or he could be tilting because no one likes losing 1000 chips early. Button probably has nothing for reasons the poster above me stated.
