Around halfway done with this level, blinds will increase in 4 hands or so:

Hero??

I don't think this is a fold preflop, but need to check my sanity

Yes, that's a call. But why does it say 100/200 in the heading?

Yes, you're priced into calling.

But why are you raising 3xBB preflop with only 11BB? Might as well push since you are going to be calling anyone coming over the top of you.

When Party's levels are 50/100 blinds, they read "100/200" in the heading.

Don't ask why.

Edit: P.S. easy call

i may be going out on a limb here, but i'm guessing that you lost the hand. in poker its important to not be result oriented, whether you won or lost the hand is irrelevant, as you want to make the correct play.

p.s. easy call

its because when they programmed it 50/100 blinds meant 100/200 limit for limit hold'em, and they never changed it for the no limit tables.

Thanks for the responses, I did end up losing a race against a small pair, but wanted to check the play (which I felt was correct). The reason I didn't push PF was due to the texture of the table , I felt that a raise of 3xbb would take the blinds or isolate against the small stack which I didnt' mind getting involved with HU with that hand. I also noticed the 100/200 at the top, I'm having trouble with the hand converter so just did some find-replace action with the player names. Sorry if that led to any confusion.

Thanks again!

The issue with the blinds is a known one and its certainly not your fault. If you can find a working converter they often take care of it.

BTW, I am 99% sure this is an unexploitable Pre-flop push. Not pushing (and other aces probably down to AT and pairs to 77) is a leak. Somebody can run the numbers if they want (i don't have SNGPT on my laptop but I would be surprised if I were wrong.

I don't have the software either, but would like to hear the #'s. Trying to fix leaks in my game and if this is one of them I certainly want to try to avoid it. Would the fact that the two blinds are the two chip leaders have any influence on my decision to push?

Also would you give more respect to an early position push or 3x-5xbb raise? Since it's not an obvious stealing postion and all...thanks!
