Default 2 tbles left 88 facing repop

look at chip stacks and tell me you shoving or folding with a player in between and a lot of $$$$$ in the pot?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t2000 (7 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Button (t21650)
SB (t28034)
BB (t41710)
UTG (t53450)
Hero (t70304)
MP2 (t112721)
CO (t30690)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t6000</font>, MP2 calls t6000, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t30490</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ?

Yea i like the shove to isolate, you have plenty to move the caller out of the pot.

reads on cutoff? and aren't there antes? buyin?

assuming ante of 200 (regular stars ante for that level in a 1500) I think it's good but close depending on how tight CO is. Granted, it's an obvious enough squeeze move for him, but if he's only doing it with 99+, AQ+ then it's very close even with antes (you need 1.77-1 and, assuming antes you're getting 1.8-1)

so if you think he might do it with lower pairs, some other stuff like KJs+ and occasionally with air (because that wouldn't be such a bad move depending how he reads you), then it becomes a call

i can't say i would always call here. 4/180 yes.

so hamnegger - what's your range for CO based on reads etc
everyone else - what do you typically push with here if you're CO?

If I think he might possibly have even ever heard the word squeeze before I'd shove to isolate.

Given this pot, I think you need to iso shove UNLESS the RR has been playing really tight. Then, considering the caller in between and the small chance he might have a monster, you may find a fold. But, I think you have to push this.

for better or worse it's air some % of the time if it's me in CO.

what do you shove from CO here?

if that's your range (translates to something like 99+, AJs+, KQs+) then you need 1.7-1 and you're getting 1.8-1 assuming antes

Come on fellas. Someone stop multi-tabling for a minute and do the math. Run some ranges. I know someone can do it.

to answer my own question, my range if I'm CO is probably 88+, AQ+: definitely push. KQs, some suited connectors: sometimes push. with reads definitely air occasionally. and I would be quite averse to shove AT/AJ, maybe not correctly?
