Default (55s)Ax, what to do?

blinds 200/400

SB- ~3000
BB- ~8000
UTG (hero)- ~6000
Button- ~2200

hero utg with A6o:
-hero raise 1200
- button all-in
-sb,bb folds
- hero calls

action: button shows AQ, which holds

is the raise preflop a little too loose? read the table to be on the tight side.

also: blinds 200/400

SB- ~8000
BB (hero)- ~3300
UTG- ~5500
Button- ~3400

hero BB with AKo:
utg calls 400, button folds, sb raises 1500, hero....

action: i go all-in, sb calls QQs and they hold up

all in correct move?

I fold the first one. Your're in good shape...your raise basically prices you in to an all-in from the shorty's which you don't wanna do.

Second one, I push..you gotta move all-in with AK 4-handed...if you can't win that it wasn't meant to be.

Why would you fold? I push. Hero has a very strong hand and is the short stack. The first one could go either way, depending on my read of the bigger stacks and the general play at the table.

1st one is close and fine.

2nd is TERRIBLE. Shoving here is really bad. FOLD PF!

Ok, first one isn't exactly a push fold spot. Most of the time, I'd fold, but reads do help, and if they haven't been playing back at you much...

Second one surprises me a bit. Shoving (or calling) is horrible here, don't ever do it.

You're not losing much (if anything) by folding both pf...imo.

What kind of range do you assign SB?

Its not REALLY BAD, but you have 0 FE and you really should stay away from seeing flops for your whole stack on the bubbe.

SB's range really depends on the plyr. On the bubble is really how you can find out how much skill youre opponents have at STTs. If this were a solid regular MTer at the 215's Id prob assign him a range of AQ+, TT+. I would assign it tighter than normal b/c UTG's limp is pretty fishy.
