FTP $75, $25K, BB Resteal on Bubble??

[anuj]

$69+6, 25K guarantee, 460 something started, 46 left, 45 pay, the average is about 25K or something.

I made a resteal about 5 hands ago against one of the table big stacks, and pretty lifeless for about 2 orbits before that.

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t800/t1600
(Ante: t200)
8 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t19126
UTG+1: t38034
MP1: t34267
MP2: t10666
CO: t27530
Button: t38011
SB: t13122
Hero: t22065

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
4 folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to t4000</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero ...?</font>

Should I shove it in? I don't care if I cash, I want to win.

Hypothetical Question:
Same situation, but you're on the button?
What if there are 55 players left, you're in SB/BB, what do you do?
What if there are 55 players left, and you're on CO/button?

Shove because you get a TON of folds especially when the guy has to call off most of his stack.

I'm basically shoving in every example you gave.

[jchauvin]

agreed this looks so perfect for a shove.

[anuj]

Yea, this was probably just a poorly disguised beat-post.

I insta-pushed, and he insta-called with AQo, I flopped a Jack and a FD for a decent sweat.


How about on a note about timing and tells, do you insta-push this or do you think a few moments and push?

[Under dog]

In these tourneys esp late when people seemed to be more pumped up Im not so sure Timing tells matter so much.

Last night in the $3 rebuy blinds were 1500/300 , CO pushed for 50k , I tanked it and pushed for 180K with KK from SB and BB INSTA called with AJ

As for your hand nice push but cant fault viallain callin with AQ

No one else thinks this is relevant? Also, what is this a value bet, or a re-steal, or what? Although I think we have good FE on the bubble, KJ does pretty bad against his calling range.

Not saying I don't push, but not sure it's as simple as all that.

When I get hands like these in the blinds nowadays, I beg for someone in late position to raise so I can just shove. Also, shoving on the immediate bubble makes your hand look extra strong.

Having KcJc in this spot (or Q10o for that matter) is like a minfist pump when LP raises. Jeez - what's going to happen to poker in a year when these thoughts are becoming more prevalent?

I sure hope so. In fact, lets lock down 2+2. You know... just for a few years...
