11-15-2005, 10:26 PM
Just watched the following hand in the PP Step 3.
6 players left, 1st-3rd earns entry to Step 4 (535), 4th in Step 3 and 5th and 6th in Step 2 (55).
Table has been push/fold für quite a while.

blinds 150/300

flatline88 (t2065) UTG
cactusjak9 (t1890)
theonei (t2050)
OchieWins (t710)
sichoe (t1480) SB
Smurfblue (t1805) BB

UTG bets 600, <font color="red">BB pushes 1505 holding JJ</font>...

Do you like the push here?
I will post the result later.

YES. I dont really see an alternative. 5 BBs, JJ looks pretty damn good regardless of the peculiar raise. You can just call, but theres not too many flops you are folding. You can fold, but I dont really like your chances of moving to step 4 if you are playing that tight with blinds like this. He's too commited to fold to your push getting the 2-1 with a hand raising utg.

That minimum UTG raise always scares me.

It's push or fold.

I push!

No, stop and go is a waste of a powerful hand like JJ.

This is not a difficult push. At all.

Unless you have some compelling reason to believe that this minraise is AA (which you probably don't), PUSH!

how about some reasoning for why you would want to use a stop and go, instead of just dropping worthless phrases.
