i just call without a read... but just about on this forum raises

Re: 55 are we going to disagree?
 

I'd either call and bet the pot on the flop or re-raise to t200.

Calling here is awful. This is push/fold.

I dunno, I have gotten in the habit of not pushing over the top of pot committing raises when it is going to cost me a substantial portion of my stack. I mean, if I have a chance of having them dominated or them folding I am willing to gamble but too often somebody calls my push with 77 and I bust or am crippled. So much for fold equity.

In an 1000 chip tournament where you have already lost 20% of your starting stack and versus some guy whos succesfully lost nearly half, I'd prolly push here. He could have AQ and be willing to go home or fold like a fool.

You are OOP, what you going to do if he pushes you on a low flop?

Didn't I just delete this thread yesterday for having a bad subject?

Actually this hand is more interesting than the other one because the stacks are deeper and the players are (supposedly) better. I still like pushing here though.

I push this

Re: 55 are we going to disagree?
 

Hmm. I call here all the time. I guess I don't have a super-compelling reason for doing so other than that I don't really like the idea of pushing. Seems like there would be more EV in flat calling and playing it well, but I'd be interested to here a few arguments here.

Re: 55 are we going to disagree?
 

I call.

Edit: Didn't see that Hero was in the blinds. Push away, my friend.
