What do you think about this push? I've been abusing the table with my big stack. More or less putting everyone one in. i've been playing probably 50% of the hands in the last two blinds.
I decided before the flop after my opponent called that if an ace didn't drop, I'm going to check-raise him all in. With the intention of making him a short stack instead of medium sized, since all my steals had to go through him. What do you think of my play and idea?
I play on a mac so I don't own powertools and can't check the analysis that way. Should I push preflop? I feel that 66 is just too small of a pair. I'd probably push with 88 or higher.
