$33 party, do you push this?

Villain has been raising alot abusing the bubble. He feels loose and I dont feel I have that much FE really. So, can I fold this beautiful hand?

If you don't think you have much FE, then I guess you could treat this like he just pushed straight away, instead of just raising 800.

You say he's been loose, so if we put his range as 22+,A2+,K2+,Q2s+,Q6o+,J7s+,J9o+,T8s+,98s according to SNG PT you should call with JJ+ (2%).

However, I don't know how much the little added FE you gain from going OTT affects your pushing range.

i'd push here -- i think players like this will fold here quite a bit because the difference between having 2200 and 1000 at this level is very significant.

Good work, this has the looks of what could be a nice short precise thread. I think the minuscule FE makes this a very close decision.

In these spots I try to look for external signs to guide me. Say for instance, that I need, like now, to hit the john, then I push.

A stop-and-go isn't too bad here. If you think you have zero preflop FE, then you really need a pair to push here.

Do you think he will call your stop and go with any flopped pair? In other words if he has 76 and the flop is K72 do you think he will call a flop push?

[chisness]

i'd say he definitely would call that and almost anything with a pair unless it's really bad like AK8 and he has 89.

lol I like this, I'll start using the strategy in situations like this.

If youre interested he called me with QTo and beat me (I was intending on posting this whether I decided to push or not).

What about a s-n-g if you don't have FE?

Edited to say I'm late on this.
