AJ autoshove?

NotFadeAway · #1 07-31-2007, 07:26 PM

$2 buy in on PokerStars. 16 left out of 1672. I'm pretty new to the table and have no reads on the raiser.
Is this a standard reshove, or should I be waiting for a better spot?

UTG+1 (346387 in chips)
MP (51472 in chips)
MP2 (137467 in chips)
Cutoff (122639 in chips)
Button (174972 in chips)
SB Hero (76623 in chips) (Ad Js)
BB (193630 in chips)
UTG (122098 in chips)

UTG folds, UTG +1 calls 5000, three folds, Button raises to 20,000, Hero re-raises all in (76,623).

A shove isn't that bad here. I'd prefer finding a better spot given the preflop action in front of you. But it could go either way.

I don't really like it. Button is deep enough that he will be calling with a lot of pairs and AQ+ and I think that those hands probably make up a large portion of his range (although in honesty I am not the best person to comment on the range of the typical $2 player).

I think that a fold and a stop and go (call pf, shove any flop) are both better than a pf shove.

Button is raising one of the only two players that can bust him and has shown interest in the pot, with the second one still to act on the BB.

He has to have something.

Your push is giving him (antes?) very close to 2:1. He's not going away.

I'd wait for a chance to get first in.

EDIT: Cornell, I don't keep track of what buy-ins you normally play, but IMHO $2 on Stars is not much different from $22 ...

Alot of times this is read dependent, IE has villian been raising limpers?, but since you were new to the table there are no reads. Without reads, I probably shove this, but I'm not sure if thats correct.
