15BB Leak

KingsTown · #1 11-12-2006, 03:57 PM

I started multitabling the $16 turbos a few days ago and have been making a steady profit (no big downswings just yet). It's become apparant in this time that my play is at its weakest when I reach 15BB. Is there any relevant material that someone could recommend?

Yesterday I picked up KQs in MP1. I had 1,575 with the blinds at 50/100 and just shoved. This seemed a weak play but I just didn't like the idea of making it 250-300 and having to see a flop out of position with a pot equating to half my stack. Calling didn't seem right either.

post the convereted hand history if you have it, or one like it.

impossible to give general advice like this.

raising to 250-300 is fine. shoving is not.

I usually raise with KQs in MP with your stack there, fold to a reraise and DEFINITELY not pushing with 15BBs.

I think limping or even folding are also fine here, depends on the table.

Pushing is a no-no. I don't love limping. A raise to 250 or folding are both viable options depending on your read of the table.

OK. So you raise to 250 and get one caller. You miss the flop and are first to act ... another 250?

LOL, calm down. Are you crazy? I don't have it.

The thread that is making you seriously angry is a request for material relating to when you're at around 15BB in a sit-n-go.

I'm with GreenKoolAid on this one. This is so vague. The questions you ask are so situation dependant that they require a HH. I do agree with you, however, that the 12-15 BBs stack is difficult to play at times. I think an entire treatise could be writeen on this situation, and I believe Raptor even made a comment that he intended to touch on the subject soon.
