Here's the situation: there's T5000 in chips,

four players left. I'm under the gun with T500, the button and small blind each have T1000, and the big blind has T2500.


If you're under the gun, what percentage of hands would you throw away?


If you're the big blind, I move in, and the

button and small blind throw their hands away,

would it be correct to call with any two cards?

How can we possibly answer any of these questions without knowing what size the blinds are ?

Since you're unable to steal anymore, you should play slightly less than 50% of your hands b/c of the (minuscule) chance that it gets folded to you in the BB.


> If you're the big blind [..] would it be correct to call with any two cards?


For T100 more it would be correct to call with 72o even when you flash aces.

This is pretty staright forward. It is this hand or the net one. You get a little bit of extra $$$ when you move here and win BUT then you still must get through the blinds. If you wait for the BB you have a few less chips when you win, BUT you are through the BB.


I would move in with any pair, any ace, any King, q-7 or better, j-10, 10-9, 8-7 maybe 6-5. One gaps, J-9, 10-8, 9-7, MAYBE 7-5. Or better obviously.

I almost forgot, there is no way in the world that the BB is folding. If I were BB I would not even look.
