Default $215 - are you shoving this?

SB and BB are both tight callers, with BB the tightest player at the table. Up to this point, I have only made 2 moves: a push with AK that wasn't called, and a push into the BB with pocket fours, which was called, and doubled me up.

Let's see, what else... Fraggo is an absolute maniac, and I would be afraid to push anything less than premium hands into him.

The writing appears to be on the wall here. I think I have to push this, yes?

I don't start pushing trash from the button until I'm more desparate than 9BB, even into tight players. Maybe this is wrong.

Wow, OK. Can we talk about this a bit?

My initial instinct was to push. Are you *not* pushing here because the hand is so dismal, and this is such an obvious place for me to be pushing that the villains should open their calling ranges considerably?

Edit: The blinds are going to 200 on the next hand, leaving me with only 4.5x.

I think I am approaching a wall at high-velocity in this spot.

Remember, blinds are going to 300 on the next hand, leaving me with only 3x. *gulp*

huh? it's 50/100 now, and there was no mention of increasing blinds.

Damn it, I'm sorry. I am posting from work, and I always have to make these posts quickly in a very small window.

1. I had included that the blinds were going up on the next hand, but I edited it out when writing, and forgot to put it back in.

2. The stupid HH always screws me up. I look at the top 100/200 and forget that it's not right.

So, again, sorry, the blinds are going up to 200 on the next hand.
