I run over tables around this point of the tournie, but I do it fairly responsibly, so I'm probably viewed as LAG, but not ridiculous. Give your opinion on this hand, but let me know what your cutoff for calling here is, I'm much more interested in that. No reads on dude.

It depends on the player, a lot.

For a "generic" villain I'd have to go with AQs+, AK, TT+...

Edit: ...for a call here. I would turbomuck ATo.

Dump it, unless villain is a complete maniac.

This is what ChrisV was talking about just the other day with regards steals.

It's why I would either push or fold this pf.

I don't get in these situations but if I did I'd be a touch looser calling than downtown. 88+, AJ+ I think.

You run over tables at this time period but you don't know what to do in this situation?

I didn't read ChrisV's post, but pushing 10bb is terrible for so many reasons.

Re: $55\'s... You have no idea how strong I am... or do you?
 

Closer to 15, actually. I never said I would push. Just that push or fold is better than raise because of BB's exact stack size.

Re: $55\'s... You have no idea how strong I am... or do you?
 

I would NEVER push here PF (sorry, someone said that below)...

the raise is fine but you have to fold it IMO. You're not even getting 2-1 and his range should clobber you here. The chances that this is a move are not great enough to outweigh how bad shape you are in if you call.
