Do you push this?? Would fold be a good choice assuming that his range is JJ+ AK+ ??

I'm assuming you don't have any reads, given that you didn't post any, but please keep in mind that Partypoker $11SnG players SUCK and you should not assume that they have amazing hands w/o a read. QQ is a good hand and, in this situation IMO, a great hand. Reraise. Not even debatable. I would probably push since you can't make a sizable reraise without commiting your stack--and the 500 in the pot would be a nice takedown.

Barring reads, I would push this. You most likely have the best hand.

Easy push for me. His range is much wider than JJ+, AK.

JustGotBlzed · #5 09-08-2006, 02:16 PM

I'd push this.

He has AA but you should call anyways because you are a masochistic SOB and you need to feel the pain

Why do you think his range is JJ+ AK. It's an $11 push and ship the dough.

Twice in the last few days I've seen this exact situation (4.5 BB's at the 50/100 level) be TT. At the 11's this is often AJ & AQ as well. You are pushing this all day, every day at the $11's. Sometimes it's AA & KK and you fire up another one but you'll see garbage enough to make this a solid winning play.

I sometimes push and sometimes call here, I never fold although its not such a bad idea, I think the fact hes gone for 450 leads me more towards him having 99-JJ AK, sometimes this read is unreliable though.
