Re: hrmm... is this a horrible push?
If he's got a hand better than JJ, yes.
If not, no. Meh, it's fine. Not sure you want to put half your chips in pre-flop with a good-not-great hand in the first level though. |

Re: hrmm... is this a horrible push?
To be honest, i'm really not sure. I couldn't fold jacks but I wouldn't be confident about my hand..He's raised 90 into a pot with a load of callers and unless he's an idiot he would need some sort of strength to do that.
I would probably call and hope to hit a set. If I ended up with an overpair i'd play it pretty strongly (and probably bust out if he ended up having set/better overpair) but if overcards came i'd slow right down. Bloody jacks... |

At the 11s, it's a good push.

Re: hrmm... is this a horrible push?
i was basically planning the following...
rasing him large so if he had some crap like AT AJ or something mite fold, then if he called... and flop was "safe"... i would just push... is that about the right line i should be thinking of taking? |

Re: hrmm... is this a horrible push?
Since this is a 10 I really can't give you the proper advice, but if this were a 50, I would never re-raise then push on the flop. Let me give you an example why... the pf raise is 6xBB by villain which usually means *monster* from most of the people that bet that big(or higher) in Level 1. Obviously you'd need to see if your opponent is raising every other pot or if they're a plain idiot, but this is usually the case when I play. Here's a good example of this and why you should pay attention to player tendencies when you play:
(10th hand of tourney with tight ass villain who's played no hands yet) ***** Hand History for Game xxxxxx ***** NL Hold'em $50 Buy-in + $5 Entry Fee Trny:xxxxxx Level:1 Blinds(10/15) - Friday, April 01, 02:09:01 EDT 2005 Table Table xxxxxx (Real Money) Seat 9 is the button Total number of players : 8 Seat 9: Hero ( $975 ) Seat 10: xxxxxx ( $1180 ) Seat 2: xxxxxx ( $1395 ) Seat 7: Villain ( $975 ) Seat 1: xxxxxx ( $970 ) Seat 5: xxxxxx ( $440 ) Seat 4: xxxxxx ( $3385 ) Seat 3: xxxxxx ( $680 ) Trny:xxxxxx Level:1 Blinds(10/15) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to Hero [ Qs Qh ] xxxxxx calls [15]. xxxxxx folds. xxxxxx folds. xxxxxx folds. Villain raises [300]. Hero (takes 15 seconds then) folds. xxxxxx folds. xxxxxx folds. xxxxxx folds. Villain shows [ Ad, Ah ] a pair of aces. Villain wins 340 chips from the main pot with a pair of aces. So Rolen if you don't ever want to get rid of JJ before the flop then you're going to get screwed lots of times. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] P.S. For anyone who calls me weak/tight here, bah, that's fine with me. I think I could afford to write this off even if I were ahead here and play the rest of the tourney fine. If I made this call I'm either way ahead or way behind as I don't even think they'd raise AK like this. |

Re: hrmm... is this a horrible push?
In general, at these lower levels, I think your play is fine.
Just as a side note. I played a set (4) of $22s last night as a warmup. I'm noticing either the fish don't know how to play hands like QQ+, or they are thinking they're tricky by slow playing them. You might run into this infrequently, but I think your pedal to the medal play here is fine. |

Re: hrmm... is this a horrible push?
The push on the flop was fine - the raise pre-flop was bad.
If he comes over the top are you folding pre-flop? You are basically saying that you are going to play hard on this hand - best to just move all in if that's the case. I think calling is better, and looking for a set/undercards. |
