Party $11. Later levels where the BB is at least 100 or greater (and often my stack is less than 10X the BB)...
I am in the BB and everyone folds to the SB who just completes. In the past when I have such few chips I would often raise all in with any 2 cards.
Like for example tonite:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
SB (t1325)
Hero (t1050)
UTG (t1505)
MP (t2000)
Button (t2120)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ?
I went all in here and he called my all in with A5 to knock me out.
So lately I have been finding at the $11 level, people in the SB will simply complete but then if I raise all in they will call that raise with a pretty crappy hand. For example from tonite:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (3 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
Hero (t1085)
Button (t5020)
SB (t1895)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1085 (All-In)</font>, SB calls t785.
Flop: (t2170) 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 9/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>
Turn: (t2170) 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>
River: (t2170) 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>
Final Pot: t2170
Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has 6h As (three of a kind, nines).
SB has Qh Td (three of a kind, nines).
Outcome: Hero wins t2170. </font>
So my question is how do you play with a stack of less than 10BB when someone completes? Anything decent and I am pushing but what about the so-so range of hands? Push or simply check and hope to get a piece of the flop and/or outplay him post flop?
