I dunno how to play poker. Someone please enlighten me.
Things had tightened up considerably on the bubble. Villain had raised 1/3 of his stack 2 hands before and folded when reraised all-in. For what it's worth I had a fairly tight table image, having shown only KK and JJ so far. Am I supposed to push with any two in this scenario?
Pros: This guy would like his BB but he's not crippled if he loses it. I am 'a tight player' assuming anyone's paying attention. I am at 6xBB after posting and could use the 300 in the pot for the next round.
Cons: I have the second worst hand possible. I am not desperate to the point where I NEED those chips (though neither of us are).
Mitigating factors: the guy in the BB when I am on button is fairly loose. He had doubled through my JJ w/ A8o earlier. He doubled through a few hands later calling AKo w/ AJs. I am not looking forward to trying to steal from him.
And is it just me or is something wrong with the forum's graphic display . . . ?
