1) Hero should have reads on a player with 1845 chips. Look at the online hand history to find out where they came from.

2) Assuming UTG is an average donk, hero needs chips and can push here.
He will run into AA often enough to be annoying, hence step one (or actually watching the games you play) is important /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Fair enough, but can this really be done while four-tabling?

[lorinda]

You have 20-30 seconds and a 30 second time out. I think you have time to hit the HH button.

Pick the middle hand, see Villain's stack size, keep middling it until you find the hand where he won the pot.

I think this decision is important enough to merit holding things up for a short time, and I normally hate people holding things up.

Good point. Thanks Lorinda.

I pushed, original raiser had jacks second guy folds, jacks hold up.
