Dont raise 1/3 of your stack preflop, I'd push instead.

Don't like it.

It's either push or fold.

It looks like a fold.

If the blinds were going up the next hand, I might push.

Don't have SNGPT in front of me, but this looks like a push.

Whoops, thought blinds were 100-200. Fold 50-100.

the blinds were going up next hand. I thought that if you raise 40% of your stack your supposed to push. 300 was not 40%.

so my next question is when how big of a bet should you just push if 40% is wrong?

what is the sngpt? and could i have a link to it?

When you are deciding between a standard raise and a push, the question is, will you fold to a reraise, or perhaps do you want to encourage a reraise.

I wouldn't want to fold A9s to a reraise here, especially if it came from some loose giant stack, but I sure wouldn't want to encourage it, so I wouldn't do a standard raise.
