Any reason not to push here? <first ever SGT post >

[jrbick]

Party 10+1 SGT

Final 3, I have 3.82 BBs left... was there really any other option on this flop? Obviously I want to pick up this pot here and now (the Flop). Is there another hand besides a T that SB will call me w/ here? All 3 of us have been aggressive PF so there is little reason for me to believe that he has a med-large PP here nor a legitimate Ace hand.

I am new to SGT's, so please provide good reasoning behind your comments /images/graemlins/wink.gif


Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t500 (3 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Hero (t1910)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t1000) 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero bets [t1910]

Final Pot: t2410

EDIT: correction of converter error (I open-pushed).

converter error. Did you open-push the flop or was it a re-raise?

Yeah: any PP other than 2's for sure. Plus a bunch of other hands like high cards or any cards. There are very few situations three-handed where pushing is a really bad idea. This is not one of them.

i would push this preflop, no point in checking with the blinds to high, you cant afford to wait

otherwise the flop push is good

welcome to the forum !

Yeah, I think pushing preflop is great here.

SB limps = 00ber-weak. Pushing steals the pot a lot of the time, and you've got king-high.

Checking the flop would be moronic.

EASY push preflop.

Thanks for the replies so far. I'm coming from LHE cash games so learning as I go (reading the preferred links that are commonly posted to noobs). Learning how to adjust.

This is an easy push pre-flop from the button 3-handed. Even if you did check for some reason and get to the flop (converter error or no) the push is the only play.

Push pre-flop. Do *not* let him complete that blind on you. If he is slowplaying a monster, so be it.
