Stars $160 double shootout - First table.
The table has been squeaky tight; and the button has realized this. He has riased the majority of the past ten hands -- and I have let him take my blind on three or four occasions. In other words, it was time for a resteal.
As you will see, this one went bad fast. Is a push the right move given the stacks? Or should I have raised to 50% of my stack? If I only raise to 50%, do I push any flop without an A?
I am sure that this is a leak (or sieve) in my game, but I think my problem is more with the execution than picking the right spots. (this case being a notable exception).
