im not sure if im making steals at the right times. what makes me think yes is that theres 300 to win, i have only 665 after posting the SB. folding seems too weak, so i figure thats wrong.

reads are non-existant. i havent seen this guy do anything stupid. at the same time this is my first push in this game.

is it just one of those things? maybe a raise less than the push, with the intention of all the chips going in whatever happens (called it goes in on any flop, raised i must call)

note, im not trying to be results orientated. but people calling with weak aces has been a fairly recent trend for me.

just want a second opinion here.

Look, just make pushing any two out of the SB when folded to you your default move. The only time you shouldn't be doing this is:

- you have >8xBB
- your opponent is committed to calling and you have a hand which matches up poorly against a random hand
- chip distribution makes a fold correct (this is rare)

None of these conditions apply to this hand. I'd be thrilled to actually have two suited cards to push with [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

i think unarmed is right your getting a coin flip to go out. but dam what are you playing in where the blinds are 200 with 7 player in.. it happens all the time i guess but i hate it when it does.. GL

Re: Just checking
 

The only thing wrong with this is that you forgot to river quads. Otherwise, it's perfect.

his call is wrong.

Re: Just checking
 

By folding A4 in the BB you are allowing people to push with any 2 with impunity. If you know your opponent is pushing any 2 in the SB, then folding is just horribly wrong. Even if you know they are pushing 70+% of hands Im sure folding is terrible.

A lot of pepole take the never call, and always push advice too far.

food for thought.

i figured id get ragged on over this post, but it never hurts more than pride to get a reality check. prolly just that my first 70ish games since coming back to party have been break-even (yes, i know, break even whilst learning is good)

thanks for positive reinforcement.

Not sure why you quoted me. Maybe it was a mistake but pushing was clearly correct, and I believe calling was correct by your opponent most of the time.
