Does anybody like this push?
So I am dissecting a few HHs and I came across this hand. My thought was that the blinds are nearly on me, and the SB+BB were both tight. I think getting desperate before I really need to panic is a huge leak for me, but I think this one might be OK. Does anyone else push here? (I had decided to push regardless of my hole cards, BTW.)

Get it in there! I would rather have 26 than k2.

If the blinds are going up again before they hit you, I like this push a lot. Regardless of that, I think it's fine. [/ QUOTE ] Thanks for the feedback. They actually weren't set to jump for 6 hands. Out of curiosity, would you push any 2 here, or are you more inclined to do it with Ax? (Just curious how other people play.)

Perhaps this is a leak of mine, but I prefer to get a minimally favorite hand over the remaining random hands at this point. K2 is a minimal favorite here, BTW.

[/ QUOTE ] In my experience, many players at lower limits are willing to make loose calls with any ace. Though OP is at that tricky twilight moment between comfort and panic, with the blinds threatening to raise and with his stack threatening to diminish, OP can afford to wait--in my opinion--for a better hand. It is likely enough that he will be called by a better hand that it is not worth it to steal the blinds here.

Then again, Mr. 210% says push, so now I'm not so sure... [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
