View Full Version : Pokerroom MTT - Blind stealing - Is this a good spot?
Blinds 100-200. I have a little over 1200 after losing a huge pot (now short stack at table). Still have a ways to go before the money, 2400 started, 500 left, 200 ITM. Folded to me in CO+2 with J9o. Table was playing fairly loose, with big stacks in EP raising freqently. this was the first time it had been folded to me this late. BB & SB each had about 3000. Do you guys steal here? It took me a while, but i folded.

What is CO+2? I think you just made that up.

What's CO+2?
The stop and go thread mentioned CO+1 too, I'm confused.
I think a standard position chart might be worth adding to the FAQ.

Are these EP raises picking up the blinds?
I'll assume you're in MP2 or 3, in which case I muck J9o, though I might raise some speculative hands like 67s or something.
EDIT: I need to type out my replies faster /images/graemlins/grin.gif
EDIT 2: Distracted by the other stuff, didn't notice your chip stack. Wasted space, sorry.

OP:
You are very shortstacked. It's push or fold time. Do it! Get to the chopper!
--GA
Fold. 6xBB push is going to get looked up quite a bit, so find a stronger hand.
Might as well push while ur bet is at least a LITTLE scary. Getting really shortstacked, time to get a lil lucky to stay in the tourney.
i didnt push on this hand, i almost did tho. Button limped, SB called, BB checked, and i wouldve flopped the nuts. all that is water under the bridge. two hands later, i found 66, and got busted by A5, when he flopped a full house. ohwell.

100% of the time.
puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuush
unless you think harrington's a tool
doesnt matter what you would have flopped. it only matters what the proper play is. puuuuuuusssssshhhhhhhh. read about M in HOH 2 and posters here. when your stack is below an M of 5 (roughly 10 bb's with antes) you have to push. even if you bust out here, it is the right play while you still have FE at all.
What's your image like at the table? Have you shown down strong hands in general? Have your raises been few or many? I like this spot to push. Your hand is certainly not a big dog against any ace and it plays well against any low pair...you do need to make a move soon while you still have some FE, if you pay the blinds again, you then probably won't have enough to make anyone fold to your all-in.
