Do you push here?
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) converter
BB (t540) UTG (t405) MP1 (t1735) MP2 (t890) CO (t1265) Button (t2670) Hero (t495) Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, Hero ??? Is this an easy push? |
Re: Do you push here?
Why would you? That is a less than average hand. The median is Q8, I believe (and I wouldn't push with that here either. Wait until the next time you get Ax, suited connectors, or broadway cards at the very least given the situation you have described.

Re: Do you push here?
I read somewhere that all in in the SB with < 8 BB was profitable with any two random cards. Was I using this wrong?
|
Re: Do you push here?
I push with any 2 cards.
|
Re: Do you push here?
I think you mean < 8 BB. And I'm unsure of the truth of the argument.
I wouldn't push here. |
Re: Do you push here?
This fully depends on the BB. If he's an idiot, no. If he's seemed reasonable, push 32o.

Is this an easy push? [/ QUOTE ] Easy push, IMO, even for a fairly loose BB. The reason is that you increase your equity a great deal (ICM estimates >1/3) when you pick up the blinds here. http://rwa.homelinux.net/poker/loose-J5o.PNG For a reasonably tight BB, 32o is an easy push: http://rwa.homelinux.net/poker/tight-32o.PNG So, I think Phil hit the mark here, as usual. You can quibble about the equity values here, but I think it gives the correct ordering, which is all you need to make these decisions. eastbay PS The screenshots are a program I'm developing that is not released yet, to respond to the usual follow-up. |
Re: Do you push here?
For me, yeah.

I don't like it, but it's hard to argue with all that data [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Do you push here?
I prob push here esp since there are 7 left gonna need something to happen with your chip count that 100 chips with no battle is a good start (if he calls at least you put them on a decision).
|
Re: Do you push here?
I think that range is awfully conservative. I prolly call 22+, QTs+, K6+ A2+.
That said, I push any two [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. |
Semi-related reason to push...
I was short-stacked in a $20+2 yesterday on Party at level 4 (50/100). I started maniacally pushing in that situation -- it was 5-handed and I got to do it 4 times on level 4 and 5. Finally the BB, tired of my abuse, decides to make a stand with 78s.
That's right, 78s. I say, "So you finally call me down with 78s?" BB replies, "You were doing that way too much." You can't beat logic like that [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. |
