your turn -

[Nick B.]

raise 600, call if seat 3 or 8 push, and most likely fold if the others push.

[curtains]

Any reason youd make it 600 instead of 500? I feel like 500 usually gets the job done here.

[Nick B.]

no, no real reason. sometimes I will make it 525 since that is the last click before it goes to 700.

[curtains]

Yeah I always have this problem when someone limps for 30 and I want to raise. I usually want to raise it to 130 but it goes to 125. I want to raise them a full 100 chips though, so I type it out.

[TheAmp]

I push.

1) you gain more FE.
2) look at it from their point of view - bigger stack will need a big hand to call. short stacks might call with dominated hands, and with them, min raise doesnt gain anything.
3)do you want to play a flop with this hand?

[curtains]

These are not the kind of games where flops happen. It's very unlikely that someone will try to just call me and hope to hit a flop.

[Chris Daddy Cool]

it would help if you gave reads rather than just a HH, but making it 500-600 to pushing all sound reasonable, though sometimes i don't mind a fold. so basically my advice is useless. lol.

[TheAmp]

Why do you think your raise is better than a push?
I explained why I prefer moving in.

[curtains]

I'm not saying allin is better than 500-600. I was just saying that fear of a flop is not one of my main factors here when deciding which play to make.

If you believe your big stacked opponent's wont ever get fancy and reraise you with a weak hand, then 500-600 should be fine (This should usually be the case). If you believe your opponents are more creative and might just try to bluff you out, or put you allin with something like A7s, then allin seems more appropriate.

I went allin here, but felt bad about it. Typically in the past I would make it 500 here and likely will in the future. I just wanted to see what others felt.

It shouldn't make that big a deal either way I think..
