VERY NEXT HAND. Hey, I just made t470 on the last one. Now I get A8s. The hands keep getting better. Only thing I didn't consider is that now I'm over 10BB. Four in a row is a stretch, right?

Re: Pushing lvl 4....how many in a row is too many?
 

the k6 and a8 are sure folds for me.

the t9 and kj i'm iffy about, and it probably just depends on what i think about the people in the blinds/behind me.

all in all, i'm not a big fan. especially of the a8, UTG, after three straight pushes! hmph.

It sucks.

After pushing three in a row I think folding this one is the best option. Making a standard raise is ok. Pushing is absolutely horrible.

Me thinks you have swallowed the whole pushbot concept too much and need to take a few steps back and think about why you do things, what you risk by doing them and what you stand to gain by doing them.

I'd fold the second hand and most likely the first hand also (depends on the tightness of the blinds).

Re: Pushing lvl 4....how many in a row is too many?
 

After pushing three in a row, I just love picking up a monster as someone will nearly always call soon enough. Its the law of averages that someone will have a hand coupled with your apparent looseness/recklessness.

....and a very good reason to fold A8o UTG. Try and feel what the table will feel for your pushes and evaluate that against who is in front of you and how your hand might fair.

Re: Pushing lvl 4....how many in a row is too many?
 

That was HORRIBLE, wasn't it? Gawd, I can't believe I did that.

IMO - If I was still under 10BB I'd push it, even after three previous pushes.

The first is borderline. The Kx's - if ya don't push this under 10BB's I don't see an ITM in the future.

Re: Pushing lvl 4....how many in a row is too many?
 

i think KJ is the only one i like, A8 if you still have a small stack

It was K6o, which is a shitty hand. Certainly not good enough for pushing into three players when you have 7.5xBB.

Re: Pushing lvl 4....how many in a row is too many?
 

Now is it just me, or is this absolutely horrible? I'm on about CCMCGOODs call. I know he has a small stack but the blinds surely allow him to wait for something better...

Is this thread a joke? If not... horrible.

this is way less of an obvious push than you seem to think. and certainly is marginal enough that not pushing here isnt going to make you a losing player.
