54s steal with small stack and I'm put all-in.

Isura · #1 05-10-2005, 04:21 PM

Table has been generally tight preflop, even the two bigger stacks. Not much stealing and lots of limping still going on (this is a 5.50). Is this a good situation to steal? I'm thinking that being called isn't terrible since my hand is definitely live, but how do I handle the reraise? Better to save the last 600T since I have a couple more hands for the blinds and I can withstand the next blinds? Thanks guys.

Push pre-flop.

this is just awful.. dont ever again put yerself in this situation. i wouldnt even push with 45s here. you are against 2 HUGE stacks in relation to you, and their calling standards could be quite loose. i rather eat a blind than push 5 high into the big stacks. as for a min raise? yuck. holla

If you are going to steal with 54s at least put some meat on its bones and go all in. Too often here you will at the very least get called.

The pot is bigger than your stack. Your getting almost 3-1 to call. Your going to be a big dog though.

Don't steal with 54s here...just too weak. If you HAVE to do it, 2xBB is not big enough. You have to push.

Thanks guys. I meant to raise 3xBB but misclicked, but anyways it's still better to push or fold.
