Pushing from the BB when the SB completes

[skirtus]

This was my first week back at the tables after taking 6 months off. Starting back at the 10s while I bang the rust off my game. Played 25 sets this week with lack luster results. I got trapped 2x this week on the bubble when I pushed from the BB when the SB completed. I can't remember every getting trapped before at the lower levels with this play. I took a verbal beating after this one. They were already calling me "tough guy" and "idiot" before this hand.

Standard testing of luckbox. Seriously, I don't think I would do this here.

[bmxreed36]

Yeah, there are plenty of times to do it but you have a decent stack compared to the blinds and no hand.

[tigerite]

And no short stack for him to lay down a reasonable hand either. I would like this much more if one was on, say, 600 chips, and about to hit the blinds (say UTG).

[skirtus]

I'm probably being too aggressive short-handed. I've been spite-called and trapped alot this week. I was pleased to find the tables "juicier" than they were last year. Just need to find my "groove" and get back to grinding out some SnGs.

[skirtus]

Trapped again. This is 3x in 3 days I get trapped on the bubble with this play. Maybe I need to be more cautious when making this move. I never got trapped before when making this type of push.

Why do you need to go broke with these bluffs? In both hands you have enough chips that you can make big raises that will only get called if opps like their hands. I don't see many re-reraise bluffs at these levels. If you get called or raised after you raise 500 in either of these situations its because they have a hand.

[Freudian]

When I have a very poor hand I just check and see what the flop brings here. You are risking too many chips for 400 chips here.
