A play that i am seeing a lot at the lower levels that is retarded
In the last two or three days, I have seen a ridiculously high amount of players setting traps with hands such as AT, 77, K9. This is a reminder for many of you beginners here who make a play like this that hands like these are to be pushed. The reason for this is that with said hands you tend to be only a 2:1 favorite to someone who is pushing with any two (and sometimes you will actually be an underdog). If you push with said hands, your friend fold equity makes this a much more profitable play as most players who play the bubble properly know to fold all but the best hands with a big stack when pushed into. But then again, everyone here probably already new this.
That is all, Johnny |

I had someone "trap" me with a7o the other day. They were UTG on the bubble and minraised. I felt it was suspect (weak not strong), had just enough chips to warrant a fold from him, and I pooooshed. He insta-called.
I finished in 4th. EDIT - it was 5 handed, not 4. |

People that call pushes with Ax (or worse) are laughable. I see this all too often as well, and it'll never go away unfortunately.

Re: A play that i am seeing a lot at the lower levels that is retarded
Yeah, there ARE situations for every move, but in general I don't like it. When I'm pushing on the bubble I make sure (if I can!) my first push is with a pretty good hand...and then I show it if it's folded to me. I especially like the play with A10+ because it makes the other players reconsider calling with Ax next time I push. Well, that's the idea anyway.
