Your opinion ?
FYI: No tells as i just got on this table.

[Thegunshow]

getting about 2.7:1 on your call, you're pretty well committed here. SB could be pushing pretty wide here. FYI, don't standard raise with a 10BB stack, just push.

[binarysmil]

Anytime, with a 10BB stack i should never make a 2.5-3BB raise ? I should every single time shove ? No exception ?

[sapsuckah]

Pretty much no exceptions. Once you make a standard raise with 10 BBs or less, you're getting proper odds to call if someone repops over the top. So just push in the first place to maximize FE.

The only exceptions are if you have something like AA/KK and are willing to increase your risk in order to be more likely to double up. Then it's not terrible to limp or maybe make a small raise if the table has been aggressive and you expect a reraise.

But the vast majority of the time, pushing is best if you're gonna play it and you're under 10 BBs.

I saw a post on P5's where pearljammer, raised 40% of his stack got re-raised and there was another caller. He mucked A9s. No one could explain it. He was well above average in the toruney an hour later. I think he is thee best short stacker.

He seems to b/f down to like 6BB. Not sure why, but can't argue with results.

I can't understand why either, this looks like an easy push from MP2 w/antes It also looks like a decent fold given the action.

Also, yeah, easy push with AJo here and easy call.

Call. As has been said you should shove here.
