Party $30+3. I've pushed 3 of the last 4 hands at 100/200 and the blinds just went up this hand to 150/300. I'm UTG with 6 left and have KJs and 2k in chips, only the button has me covered. I push

First off, what's the question?

Secondly, there isn't enough information here to answer whatever question you're going to ask. How are the other players at the table? Tight? Aggressive? Loose? Passive? This is very important.

Assuming the players are decent, I don't like this play. If you're called, you're going to be behind. With the blinds this high, you don't want to pointlessly risk your chips. Considering that your image at the table is now somewhat maniacal (pushing 3 out of last 4), you're not going to get anyone with a better hand to lay down.

If I were playing the hand, I'd raise to 2.5X the big blind to give the impression that I'm on a rush and frustrated that I'm not getting any action on my hands. This accomplishes the same goal (stealing the blinds), yet leaves open the opportunity of having a lesser hand play back at you.

I don't like it. Your not really in need of thos blinds with a 2K stack, and by pushing 3 of the last 4 you've reduced the calling ranges of your opponents so that you are going to get called by Ax and KQ a lot.

You have to go through 5 people and likely one of them is going to find something worth playing.

My read on the table was that they folded the last 3 times I pushed, and I pushed 3 times out of the last 4 hands, so yeah they were playing pretty tight.

LOL Nottom, so far that's 2/2 where we've agreed 100%.

That can only mean one thing...

You must suck.

I fold. I don't like KJs UTG 6-handed, even if they did fold the past 3 of 4 pushes from you (which is pretty common, IMHO).
