(11) AJo push on raise ITM?

[HungryPeon]

Button was tight on bubble, I can't remember he was trying to steal. SB is really short, so I decided to fold.

Push. The BB is 600 and you will not likely see another hand this good before your death.

I think you misread, Indy. Hero is bigstack.

OP, whether you should reraise is pretty close. How does BTN view you? For his tourney life when he's this healthy, he'd need to have a really big hand to call. So it might not be enough to say that he was tight. Tight could mean that his initial raising range is small, or it could mean that his initial raising range is fair but he wouldn't call a bigstack push without KK+. What you really care about is the difference between his initial raising range and what he'd call a reraise with. Some players will get all-in everytime they have a raising hand; some want to raise but will fold to real opposition.

It's an in-game situation but I'd lean towards pushing for two reasons.
1) If he folds you'll be able to bully the crap out of the table, I'm guessing.
2) It looks like he specifically bet that amount to put shortie all-in. This leads me to believe that he'd like to be HU against the shortie with his hand but might be afraid of your push. I dunno. That might be a trainwreck in the works.

I did misread. Thought he was shortstack. A push is clearly wrong .

Barring any reads that lead you to believe the Button is actually strong here, I'd probably push. My guess is he has some A-x or KQ that he wants to play against the shortstack, but not you.

Even if he is semi-strong, I really don't see him calling unless he has JJ+. I doubt even AK. But the typical 11-er's range is larger than the KK+ listed above.

If the button was really tight then I don't mind your fold. His range is most likely ahead of you so just wait for when you can be the first raiser.

[HungryPeon]

If he calls our push, most of the time we are behind and have 3rd place.
If he folds, we have +20% to our stack and lead this sng.

So, I think, if he folds about 80-90% of the time, push is a good decision.


Thanks for responces.
