SB bubble push (Party $11)

Raiser · #1 07-28-2005, 10:22 AM

I know I should be pushing a lot of hands here. Is this one too weak to push? Or is this basically an any 2 spot?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter

saw flop|saw showdown

BB (t1055)
UTG (t5005)
Button (t1050)
Hero (t890)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
2 folds, Hero raises to t890 (All-In)

Have you been stealing often frequently? Have you been called on any steals and shown down marginal (or just plain bad) hands?

If your image is ok I think this is a good place to push. If you are viewed as loose, or you have found your opponent to be a call-station/spite caller, then I might muck it and wait for something a BIT better in the next couple of hands.

I don't think it is an any 2 spot, but it's not terrible. I don't know, push and fold are close here.

i think it's a good spot

he's within 1bb of you, so doesn't wanna get into a race with you...u won't get many spots where the big stack folds before you...ur fe is enough here (unless u have been wreckless, stealing often, been caught stealing with rags, etc)

Does this become a push any two with a bigger stack?

I think it goes more towards a fold with a bigger stack actually, because of button also being on 1k.
