$5 Stars, is this a push?
I have just started using the Pushbot chart for bubble play etc. I think this is a push, but still, it's only A2os.
Is this a push by the chart? Or do I have a high enough M to not push it and wait for something a bit better, or is A2os just too weak to almost never push? Also, what if I think the blinds will call a lot weaker than the "loose" numbers on the chart? I imagine you need to tighten up, but how much? Anyway, any schooling will help as I run into this a lot.... PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) internettexasholdem.com BB (t3115) UTG (t5437) Hero (t1700) Button (t1518) SB (t1730) Preflop: Hero is MP with 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero?</font> Thanks for any advice. |

Without checking SnGPT I'd say this is a pretty clear fold. You're not super desperate yet and A2o is a terrible hand.

Fold. You still have plenty of time, and hands that call have you completely crushed, like any pair, or any ace.

Fold - I think you need A6o or better with 8 BBs
Plenty of time in the game yet! |

I'm shoving this from the button, but not from the CO

Re: $5 Stars, is this a push?
Thanks folks.
I have just been having trouble with the pushbot chart in that I can never "guess" which line to use. I have an M of 5.6 and with 3 players behind, the "tight" column is 5.9, but the "average" is 4.4 and the "loose" is 4.3. If I deemed the players average or loose, it'd be a fold, if tight, it's a shove. I guess, I'll just go with the majority from now on if I don't have an absolute read. But I do agree that almost any call I am totally screwed. Results in white if you care: <font color="white">I pushed. BB called my all in with KTos and caught his 10 giving me 3 outs and knocked me out. So I was ahead, BUT, obviously KTos is even looser than the "loose" column making it a clear fold. </font> |
