my stop & go, how is this?

My intention was to push this, my stack sucks. But it quickly became three handed, so enter SNG.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter

CO (t2695)
Button (t1610)
SB (t960)
Hero (t630)
UTG (t1640)
MP (t465)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG raises to t275, 2 folds, Button calls t275, 1 fold, Hero calls t175.

Flop: (t875) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets t355 (All-In), UTG folds, Button folds.

Final Pot: t1230

To me this is an easy fold preflop.

Yup. The button calling totally fucks up your plan, and the fact that you are pushing less than half the pot crushes alot of your fold equity. Not the right spot for a stop and go.

Ugh, oh well I had a feeling this hand was results oriented. Glad this one worked out nonetheless.

Come on.. Why would you want to call/push here? You are usually behind both of their ranges, and never much, if at all, ahead. It's not like the big blind is half of your stack or anything.. You have >6BB left. You are still looking for +CEV situations, not the least -CEV ones.

It's a clear fold even without the caller.

Maulik · #7 08-11-2005, 12:11 AM

Indeed. I guess this dealing w/ less than 8bb is still what I'm to iron out.
