HAND ONE - I also hate minraises and will over-reraise them when I have a hand. This also served to get others out of the pot. I don't know about the push on the flop though...

HAND TWO - Fold preflop. A3 might be strong enough to be the aggressor and try and steal the blinds but I don't think it's strong enough to call that bet.

Best case is you're up against something like KQ. If he has a pair you're a big dog and if he has an Ace you're a HUGE dog.

You still have 4BB left plus an orbit before you have to put money in the pot plus everyone has fairly equal stacks.

Hand 1:
T$300 bet pf is good.
The push is read dependant. Has he been straightforward or tricky before? I like it if he´s been straightforward.

Hand 2:
First impression is that I wouldn´t call at this spot.
Calling with A3o near the bubble is asking for trouble.
But again, if he´s been allin with any two before, and you don´t mind the risk of busting here, go ahead and call.

With the bet of 300 you build a very large pot, which basically means that:

- If he checks you go allin
- If he bets and you missed you fold
- If he bets and you hit you call

This is a pretty shitty situation if you ask me. If you want to raise it's hard to not commit yourself to this hand.

I think i would just call preflop in this situation.

Hand 1: I don't like these situations early, but there including the blinds, there is already t245 in the pot. I might just cut the crap and push pre-flop. I'm not calling and playing AK 6 handed or whatever it turns out to be and then not knowing where the hell I stand on the flop. I think a pre-flop push is actually less risky than your line. There is enough money out there to just say, "I've got the best hand, if you wanna play, it's gonna cost you your whole stack."

HAND 2: I absolutely hate this call. You're crippled if you lose it. Fold and blind steal when it's your turn. You are a big favorite over almost nothing here and you are a big dog to a lot of hands - any pair over 2's, any ace with a bigger kicker. Remember - the Gap Concept is your friend on the bubble.

Interesting, because I've never thought of it that way before. I will be sure to remember this clever saying next time I'm in a similar situation. /images/graemlins/grin.gif
