lvl 3

[bluewilde]

Aight, two quick questions:

1) lvl 3, 8-handed with about 650 chips

I'm on the button, there's one limper in front of me and I have 44 (blinds are 25/50). Limper, SB/BB all have 800-900. Fold right?

2) Few hands later, nothing has changed, pick up AKs with about 600 chips

3 folds in front of me, what's a good raise?

Exactly!

Wow, AKs is a push in this situation? What about UTG or after like, 3 limpers? Is it just how short my stack is? (I considered pushing but wasn't sure, after I raised 150 and was left with 450 I sorta groaned).

I'm not scared to call hand 1.

Could not be more clear, concise, and precise.

I sometimes would push the first one as well,
1) If I had not played a pot
2) The limper enters a lot of pots and knowm to raise some of them
3) limper is in middle to late position

AKs is a good push hand, just not that great at calling pushes. Here, you aren't likely to see one of the few hands better than this before your'e bled down.

Ew, fold hand 1?

Sure, there are times this is a fold but it's very player dependant.

Against a solid EP limper and passive blinds this is a clear call.

Against a limp-happy limper who raises with his good hands this is a clear push.

The rest of the time you can fold. But this is a great chance to pick up a lot of chips.

Hand 2, clear push, you get called by lots of hands you dominate.
