Yeah this seems a little crazy. I call and try and get all my money in on a good flop.

Edit: also you do have another whole round to pick up something nice in a better spot.

I like the push. You have 12xBB and this is a late position raise.

Yeah don't know I hate getting all the money in there behind. why you think he calls with KQ or A10??? I play on PS and when all the stacks are even like this and it's early I don't like to gamble. But maybe it's different on party and you need to play faster or something....

Edit: I guess he's the CL...ahhhhh still just call I think here. You guys play so damn fast with [censored] ty starting chips...I just couldn't do it.

You definitely need to play faster. With 12x BB, AQ suddenly becomes very, very big, and certainly better than a MP3 hand, especially because getting people to fold and increasing your stack size by 125 chips is huge at this point.

Good push. The only hands you are worried about are QQ - AA and AK. These hands seem pretty unlikely. You are low in chips, you will need to double up sometime. If he calls you, great. If he folds, great.
