Please review these 4 push/fold situations

[outofstep]

I decided to condense my trouble hands into one post.


I think this may have been a bad fold. I didn't like pushing here so maybe 3xBB raise would be best?

I was really out of position here but I would be next with the blinds chaning to 100/200. Did I get too desperate too soon?

On the bubble both opponents have been playing pretty tight. Figured it was an easy push. What do you guys think?

Hands 2-4 I push without much of a second thought, they seem quite standard to me.

Hand 1 I think I would push, but its closer. If you flip it so two small stacks had folded and the big stacks are yet to act I think I might lean towards a fold.

Yes, I like pushing 2-4.

#1 is iffy, I never feel comfortable with that sort of hand and that size stack. If you do raise 3BB, do you fold if one of the two bigger stacks comes over the top? How do you play the flop if one of them just calls?

[SammyKid11]

Hand 1, I'd make a normal 3xBB raise.
Hand 2, for all intents and purposes (since the blinds are about to go up), you only have 4xBB in your stack. I don't mind the push even out of position.
Hand 3, easy push.
Hand 4, I don't like this push from the button -- though if you were SB it'd be clear.

[ldavidjm]

The bigger stacks are out already. You don't really want to be playing this postflop, and you don't want to be committing 300 of your 1100 chips PF either because of flop and reraise issues. You have to push or fold.


Edit: Am I the only one that thinks raising up nearly 30% of your stack preflop with a mid pocket pair that you don't want to be calling pushes with, nor want to be playing on an overcard flop is pretty bad??
