Am I the only one that pushes this?
1. I had only stolen once before.
2. Only hand I showed down entire game was AQ for 2 pair. 3. t150 is looking pretty good to me right now. Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (5 handed) converter SB (t1148) BB (t861) UTG (t2861) Hero (t980) Button (t2150) Preflop: Hero is MP with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, HERO PUSHES HIS GODDAMN CHIPS INTO THE MIDDLE, Button calls t980, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>.

Re: Am I the only one that pushes this?
how good did -980 look? I could see raising to 3bb and folding to an AI. I think with 10bb you can make that play. Queen high sucks, (although I think it is better than Ax in this situation), and I don't want all my chips in the middle with it. With 5-8bb, I would probably fold, 4 or less push, and 9+ make a normal raise and likely fold to a push.

Re: Am I the only one that pushes this?
No way whatsoever that that is worth a push. You really think adding 150 chips to your stack is worth the risk? I don't think thats even remotely close. But I might be wrong...

Re: Am I the only one that pushes this?
Totally read dependant. Since you had a tight image, I don't hate this at all.
I think it's a lot closer call than people are indicating. I certainly like it more than a 3BB raise followed by folding to an all-in.

Re: Am I the only one that pushes this?
not sure I like to push QJ from MP. UTG-MP I want something stronger Ax or pp. From button or SB... I might push, but I will always be worried about the big stacks, unless you have a good read on them (one folded which is nice, but the other can still hurt you).

BB could be getting ready to push. Raise to 400ish/fold to the BB push.

My thought was that I currently have FE against all of the stacks, but I will be losing it very shortly. I think I overestimate the ability of my opponents to notice that I have been projecting a drum tight image.

[/ QUOTE ] Depending on what buy-in you play you are probably correct, especially if you're tight they won't notice. If you're a maniac they will. I am surprised by the responses where people are suggesting 3xbb, leaving you with less than 7xbb... that can't be right. pushing w/ 2 worse cards from button or SB has to be smarter than 3xbb from MP... IMO.
