Can someone recommend a pushing range for this spot?
My current range: 99+, KQs+ (fold AJos)

I'd probably be shoving 77+ AJo+ I s'pose. KQs I'd fold, FWIW.

Probably 88+, AQ+ for me, here.

You get called enough by crappy aces to make AJ a push but KQ an easy, easy fold. Pushing KQ into that many bad players is a leak.

In what position would you push KQs?

RobBizzle · #6 10-05-2006, 05:31 PM

So every play OP should do is push at this point or am I reading this wrong. Or are you saying because of him being in early position it's only a push or fold?

DaN_05 · #7 10-05-2006, 05:47 PM

He has like 7xBB, so yeah raising like 3xBB is pretty gay. Just push. Generally once you have around 10xBB just push or fold.

Also, I'd probably be shoving KQs in CO and later I guess... (given Hero's stack size)

Thanks DaN I never really knew when you got to the point where you should just push or fold. That helps a lot.

Basically, any time when really a PF raise and a decent size (i.e. half pot) cont bet would commit you to the pot. Say you have AKo in MP with 1400 chips at a 75/150 blind level. You raise to say t400, and BTN who covers you calls. All else fold. Pot is t1025. Flop is J97 all diamonds, you have no diamond. You have t1000 chips left, WTF do you do? You've often just lost like 1/3 of your chips. So save yourself this kinda situation, and just push all-in. You'll be suprised the calls you get.

Best case Scenario for you is that their uber tight and at best its +0.3 for a 6.50 and this stage in the proceedings.

Look to shove as your position approves, thats what really sucks here not so much your hand, which isn't exactly to shiit hot either, but yeah, way too many people and issues here. fwiw I never push this here.

Cheers.
