Default $6.50: 50/100, TT Whats my line with 14BB and a limper

Hi Guys,

in situations like this i never know what to do with mid pairs
whats your line here? UTG was playing very loose.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) pokerhand.org hand converter

UTG (t3210)
MP1 (t1385)
Hero (t1410)
CO (t2630)
Button (t2180)
SB (t1215)
BB (t1470)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t100, Hero... is pushing? calling? folding?

thx for your comments

UTG loose as in limping and raising a lot, or also loose as in calling pushes/big raises with moderate hands? If the first is true this is an easy push with 250 chips waiting for you. Would UTG have raised with two high cards? If yes, then you can easily push and hope to get called.

I think this is a push regardless of the above mentioned.

Well, there you go.. tricky play is trickier to play against [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. But sometimes the tricky play backfires, especially slowplaying monsters.

You can have all the sng-tools in the world but without good reads and good estimating of opponents ranges you will still be in trouble.

Make your mind up. He's either playing "very loose" (which means he likely has nothing much) or he isn't.

The range you give is not "very loose". It's looser than you'd play but...

I think folding is out of the question, limping seems too cost to much. I think that a push is in order.
