jumping back in

[morgan180]

I just started playing again recently - I took a 5 month hiatus to start my new business and it seems to me that the art of stealing blinds has been spread to the masses - yet as always people don't get the whole concept - i picked off almost an entire table today calling all-ins with any ace and big kings - and was heavily favored every time i did. has anyone else significantly dropped their all-in calling standards at the 10+1? my sample size is very small just the first 5 games back from my long break.

My standards may drop somewhat depending on a certain read of a player or how desperate he looks or even how desperate i am. I play at the 22's and am constantly surprised with what others will call pushes with. 6-8 times BB pushes being called with QJo (quickly too) are not rare at all and there are worse hands that are willing to gamble too.

with 4.5BB I called a push today with J8o, and I'm confident that it was the right call.
