Re: A few hands from my wonderful day.
1)Sometimes, you have 12 outs. More often, you have 15 and are a favorite. Once in a while, 66 folds. You don't really have a choice. Folding ranges from mediocre to pretty bad. (Alternative: Call, then push/call any turn to represent aces.)
2)Shrug and push 3)Call, but it's close 4)I raise to 150 here, but don't mind folding 5)Either limping, raising or pushing are all good. I like to push here sometimes and get called by AJ but lately it's been 22 that calls so I'm reconsidering. We'll see. |

Re: A few hands from my wonderful day.
I'm being lazy and just agree with future adanthar. That is, everything he said, and not pushing the last one.

[/ QUOTE ] I used to have this habit as well and mid pairs always would call and since I never win coin flips, that sucks. On the other hand I now push stuff like 99 or TT here all the time because small pairs call and I get to smash them and laugh. |

I keep telling the low limit guys that this is a GREAT play. I double up so often pushing TT here it's insane. Lower PPs call all the time because it looks like such a steal to the donks. But all I ever hear is "you're either dominated or a coinflip if called." So WRONG. This play is especially good for the low level guys who generally suck post flop and whose opponents will call with low PPs all the time. Nice to see a good player is in my camp. |

Re: A few hands from my wonderful day.
Hand 1: Push. Give your opponent (who could be bluff, or could have a small PP) a chance to fold. You don't always need the best current hand to play a flop strong.
Hand 2: Ugh. Less than 3bb, 6-handed AND UTG? I'm folding and praying for K3s in the BB. Same thing either way. You're getting called, unless the structure is such that everyone is short stacked. If I had 4BB or more, I'd push. Hand 3: Gotta call. Hand 4: Raise to 125-150 depending on the fold threshold of my opponents. Hand 5: Raise to 200, unless its early in an MTT and I'm at a table of loose call stations. In this case I push. |

Re: A few hands from my wonderful day.
Hand 1: I push
Hadn 2: i only push if you have folded a few hands in a row (a least an orbit - when and how did you get/play your short-stack) OR if the BB is quite tight. if not, i fold. Hand 3: I call begrudgingly (sic) and hope to win as a 60ish% favorite. it's the way to try to get something other than 2nd. Hand 4: no reads and I push that. |

Re: A few hands from my wonderful day.
(In hand 1) So you guys are content with gambling all your chips away early on when you will have (in most cases -- barring the all-inner isnt a complete donk) AT MOST 12-15 outs. Plus, when you do get called, it will be more often then not a hand like 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], in which youll have 0 outs.
I can understand making the push here if you have a read on the opponent to make this type of play with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], but we were not given that info. I might be overestimating the fold equity, though. |
