How's this push?

Is this push ok? Or to much too early, with too little?

wrong

You have more than 10BB, your hand is bad, and there are 2 people with bigger stacks in front of you... there will be way better spots than this. If the blinds were 50/100 I' push here.

high risk, low reward

Don't do it! (above poster said everything I would have said)

And considering that its 10+1 don't be suprised if someone calls you with a Q10 or a J10. Haha gotta love it when you have KK, but fold this hand.

Pretty bad... I would raise 2.5xBB though. Never waste an opportunity to open with a decent hand on the button.

ldavidjm · #8 07-31-2005, 03:11 PM

He's pretty short stacked, raising 2.5 BB has him committing almost 20% of his stack PF. Just fold.

Cool. Thanks. I thought it was pretty bad. What if I had Q9s?

DJ Sensei · #10 07-31-2005, 03:31 PM

Q9s sucks too. Really, you shouldnt be pushing much of anything here (maybe AK or a mid pair or something, but your stack is deep enough to open for a smaller raise with any playable hand)

The problem with any push is you're putting your whole stack at risk with a bad hand to win 75 chips
