The Value of Mid-PP When ITM? Ask BlueTooth! ($33)

[KramerTM]

Sorry, title of thread is completely arbitrary and meaningless.

I had been raising a lot once we got ITM. I just raised Villain out of a huge pot on the river. Something feels ehhh here. But I could just be off my game. Is calling this standard?

Please put the buyin of this tourney in the subject.

Raise more to begin with, call the push.

How much more would be appropriate?

Interestingly enough you really only derive +EV from this hand if you push and get called. (Meaning in just a push/fold scenario).

If you want to raise him make it a min of 500 but I prefer a push. I mean there is gonna be a wide range you will have to watch out for unless the flop is completely under 9's which isn't super likely.

I simply push preflop here. You don't raise enough here and villain can call with a wide range of hands. I know that didn't happen, but a flop will likely have an overcard to your 9s, and then you're playing a guessing game.

Anyway, in this hand, call the push.

EDIT: hey fatdogs12, we more or less posted the exact post at the exact same time. You must be a dangerous player [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I don't think I've ever made a fold like this in the money.

"Ask BlueTooth!"? Huh?

IF you wanted me to answer your question, yes, push those nines.

I understand why I might not want to see a flop here, but do the size of the stacks compared to the blinds still warrant a push here?
