$55s - Simple 3-Handed Push

[Unarmed]

My image is ok, Villains' calling standards appear pretty typical. I pushed this, but maybe I should slow down a bit ITM...

i don't think i push here. then again maybe i'm not pushing itm enough. but i don't think this can be that right. it's not the bubble, people are going to start calling, right?

like i said, i could be wrong.

With 7BB, I fold this quite quickly.

I havent played enough in the 55s but in the 11s against the right ppl this is an easy push. I dunno if in the 55s we have such tight-weakies that can easily be run over ITM.

Pushing this in the $11s is probably a mistake, too. You better REALLY know your opponents.

Yup. What sort of calling range would you say is typical here? 55+ A7+, KQ?

Against that range ICM says you can either push or fold. I tend to lean towards the former 3-handed as the blinds eat you so quickly. I do think I should ease up though...

Well, how much have you pushed? If you've pushed a lot of hands (like this one), the calling range is going to be much looser.

[Unarmed]

Ok, how about this one. I pushed without a second thought. Blinds are going up on my SB. Its dead even on the ICM if I use 77+ and A9o+, which sort of surprised me. (not that it should as I'm behind everything if called, A7s just looks so pretty)

Somewhat easier push. First is a pretty easy fold for me. I'm pushing a lot of hands on the button, but not complete trash as the above hand is. If there's a face card in there, I'm probably pushing.

I like this push.

I think you made a mistake somewhere. This is a clear push. Giving BB a calling range of A9+ and 77+ I get $91.31 for push and $82.27 for folding using eastbay's program.

Even against a maniac it is a clear push.

[Nottom]

I see no reason to push here unless my opponents are abnormally tight.

[Nottom]

I can't imagine not pushing with hand 2.

Eastbays analyzer shows that its really close with reasonable calling ranges, when its close and I'm the shorty, or the blinds are going up soon, I usually er on the side of aggression.

Hero is UTG, not in the SB as you seem to be implying.
