Last time it was folded to me in SB, I pushed with 49o cause I was desperate. He called with KQ and I won when I flopped a 4. Should that affect my decision here?

it defintely should affect your decision. See I don't really like to show a lot of crappy pushes unless I have a big stack and I can afford to push every single hand including AA when the blinds are high....why am I telling you this???? Forget that for now...Here you can fold your 75 SB and wait. You still have a good push amount to see what the button or CO brings you.

i think it increases chances of a spite call when last orbit you showed garbage. even tho your likely to be in a 65-35% showdown, why not see if button can atleast give you a face card and tilt the odds in your favor.

The interesting thing for me at least is that when I put this through SNGPT, BB with a range of 22+,A2+,K8o+,K4s+,QTo+,Q9s+,JTs, which is way generous IMO, it's still a push. Is there something that suggests that I shouldn't be living strictly by SNGPT?

[Nick M]

I never use those things. If I felt that a lot of people were folding and playing tight I might push it because their calling ranges would be a lot smaller. But truthfully,
I think we need to double up here not just steal. So I would rather take the chance of picking up a better hand on the button or CO.

yeah...it would for me. i'd fold to let him know i'm capable of doing so, and then pushing any two next time i'm first in.
