[Meatmaw]

Ok, last new post tonight, I promise. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Super short 2BB stack on button with K3o 4-handed. Easy push?

I love the str flush with my 3H. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

yes, good push, good catch.

but getting your stack down to 2BB is just not advised...

Since I play too tight, I'm just not certain which hands to push when 4-5 handed with 6-7 BB. Are there really "any two cards" cases? If not, is it basically any Ax Kx Qx when on the button or when SB?

[Patrick Duffy]

if it gets to the point where its 4/5 handed and you have 6/7BB, its time to get at least a little desperate. In this case, barring any reads and assuming that I am the shortstack, i push any pocket pair, Ax, k8 or better, qj, qt and jt. also, this is assuming no one has called or raised ahead of you.
