Too soon?
Hey guys. I see there is another thread similar to this one already up, but in my cases its a little later. So, did I push too soon in these hands?
Party NL $11 SNGs for both. Thanks in advance.

Re: Too soon?
Hand 1 is basically a coin flip for me (push or fold), unless I had a read/stats on my oppoenent.
Hand 2 is an auto push. The only think you don't like is the BB is low on chips and will most likely call. A,8 is a 63% favorite vs. a random hand. |

Re: Too soon?
I don't like the raise with hand 1. Most likely, if you're called, you're either a slight dog or a big dog, for all your chips. So unless the villain is an aggressive player that is stealing with trash from early position, this is a bad move.
Hand 2 is an easy push. -Magnus |

Re: Too soon?
Hand 1: Depends on my read of MP. If he is a loose raiser, this is an easy push. If he has played tight/solid poker than I think it is close...but still a push. Actually, the only way I fold this is if MP has been a rock. Judging by his chipstack, he is not. If you were the SB with T1800 chips, it would be a different story.
Hand 2: Push. Not as easy as it looks because you know you are getting called by the SB. But I think A8s is too good of a hand to fold here. |

Re: Too soon?
I like the all-in for both hands, at the $11 level. At the $50 I'd be less comfortable with hand 1, but would probably still make the same move.

Re: Too soon?
Hand 1 - Assuming you're one of the best at the table I think it's early enough to fold this unless you know the player is loose or aggressive(he likes to play Ax & KQ like this). He's not going to fold many hands for 600 more and you're probably a slight dog...
Hand 2 - Pushing is fine here...what about calling then pushing the flop if they check or calling if they all in? |
