I started this hand with $4, so If I decide to play, I'm playing for all of it.

Not much of a read on Villian, but he's 40/20/5, in the 30 hands since ive sat down.

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG raises to $0.25, UTG+1 folds, Hero raises to $1, 6 folds, UTG calls.

Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($2.15, 2 players)
UTG bets $2.25, Hero ???

Now i'm thinking I'm probably losing here...to at least 2 pair, maybe a set. The way I see it, I have 9 outs against a set, 14 vs. 2 pair...and If i am against another AQ, I'm free rolling. Does this warrant an all in push here?

Reload to max buyin.

With this many outs I'm shoving here 10/10 times.

(You might even be ahead and don't have to catch any of those outs)

I think you're too pessimistic. This could be a normal c-bet, or a worse Q, too. Easy push considering that you're so short. Expect to be called often, but you're in fairly good shape when behind.

Being short this is a beyond easy push.

What makes you think your behind here? id play a full buyin for a push in this spot. Get it in.

AmonRaa · #6 11-07-2006, 02:00 PM

In this situation, I allways push

netstorm · #7 11-07-2006, 02:02 PM

a big push and its not even close. Always rebuy preflop, or drop down in stakes if you're not comfortable playing a full stack.

Thats what I thought. I did wind up pushing....just got a little bit discouraged with the results. He did have trip 9s, I hit a club on the turn for my flush, and the river paired the board and he filled up.

As far as having max buy in, I was playing 4 tables at once, and hadn't realized it had gotten so low...but given the result I was happy for it.

Short term results are for day traders...I guess. They aren't for poker.

Nice hand, well done on pushing. Do it again.
