FT 5.50 99: how to play medium pocket pairs OOP late?
Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament Blinds: t80/t160 6 players Converter Stack sizes: UTG: t3140 UTG+1: t2155 CO: t2560 Button: t1780 Hero: t2495 BB: t1370 Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 folds, Button calls t160 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t240)</font>, <font color="#red">Hero raises all-in t2495</font>, 2 folds. Uncalled bets: t2335 returned to Hero. Results: Final pot: t480 Table has been loose. Is this just a horrible way to play this? I'm not really sure what the best way to play medium pocket pairs is. I'm in good position to make the money, but I don't have a huge stack so I don't really want to raise to 4x BB and then have to throw the hand away if the flop comes out bad, esp. since I'm OOP. I have a reasonably strong hand here though, so am I minimizing value here? I'm either raising or shoving, and given stack sizes, I like a shove better. Good play, ok play, or bad play? |

its a favorable hands vs the blinds so ya, good push vs a shorter stack. in my experience you will alot of the time get called with a weak ace or something like QJ K J if you just make a standard raise. pushing usually makes them go bye bye at 5.50s if they have an average stack
