I think converter messed up, in the 1st hand he raises to t800 (minraise), in 2nd hand button raises to t800 (minraise) and Hero reraise to t1200 (minraise), in 3rd hand he raises to t1200. Converter didnt add the blinds to the raises.

The AQ hand: push over the top. Min-raising here is stupid as if you push hes likely to call and you have a very strong HU hand.

I open push the JJ hand. I could see limping if you think he would push over the top.

1) I'd raise more...either to t1000 or t1200

2) I'd push after villain miniraises...the reminraise is unbelievably horrible...

3) I sometimes have trouble with this situation..against a VERY aggressive opponent I might check to induce a push..

I get very uncomfortable making raises like the one he made here..because if we are called and an over flops..we're not in the best situation...but I'm probably just being stupid..it's probably good..

#2 and 3, imho, are clear pushes. #1 is kinda tricky, i dont know what to do. Push seems kinda stupid, but what happens if you raise to t1200 and he pushes? You have to fold [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

sorry I wasn't looking carefully at #1..I thought you were more even in chips...

a push will be slightly positive for any callign range...

I'm not sure if we could get more by just raising...
