how many times have you pushed lately, what hands have you exposed when you have pushed, how loose/tight is your opponent....????

Re: Too aggressive? (similar to the hot thread about Daliman\'s hand)
 

No read on the opponent, but I had pushed several times recently, without getting a showdown.

The blinds are t400. You're in SB, you have a huge stack. I think this is an easy push.

id prolly fold.

Re: Too aggressive? (similar to the hot thread about Daliman\'s hand)
 

Easy push, terrible call.

Re: Too aggressive? (similar to the hot thread about Daliman\'s hand)
 

This is a very clear allin. Your hand is worth moving allin on it's value alone, not to mention there is a shortstack at the table and its the bubble, thus BB will fold a lot of hands. The blinds are too high to not move allin here. Also I would move allin on any 2 cards, but Q high is automatic.

Note that in this situation, allin isn't correct only because of the shortstack, but also because you have a decent hand.

Also unfortunately, this hand isn't remotely similar to Daliman's hand.

im curious about this as i feel it is an area i can improve upon...heads up, q5 is good because of the high card?

Re: Too aggressive? (similar to the hot thread about Daliman\'s hand)
 

Q5o is good enough to go allin here and turn the hand face up, yes. Check out Karlsen - Sklansky hand ratings if you need confirmation.
