I like this if the limpers have been somewhat loose, lets say 35%+ volintary put in pot. Also what buyin is this?

Re: Anybody like this push lvl3?
 

Its a 10/1 so i gues its not saying much. Now that i think about it, i like the push but i feel like im guaranteed a 50/50 a good portion of th etime to hands like kj, which im not sure if i really want. I think a limp mightbe better since ill be caught in the blinds again.

This would be a bad limp IMO if the limpers had been loose. You could really use these chips, and taking the better part of a 50/50 is not that bad. Now on the other hand if one or more of the limpers had been playing pretty solid than I would lean twards limping.

Did you have hany reads on the limpers?

Re: Anybody like this push lvl3?
 

no reads, just seen them call down with mediocre hands, call off alot of chips with aj.

How many tables are you playing?

If you are not getting a general sence of how tight or loose the table is, I would advice getting Poker Ace Hud. I will give you the stats for the players at your table, which I find very helpful in these situations.

It's not really awful or something, but I don't like it that much, because good players will only fold hands that you have smashed (they may, I suppose, fold 99 and maybe TT as well.. but most good players would raise TT in either position at this level); whereas donks will call with their QTo, KJo, A9s and whatever other crap they have here. I don't think with 88 they call with A2-A8 enough to make the push a good one.

I prefer to just complete, I think.

Re: Anybody like this push lvl3?
 

I like it. If you had a couple of hundred, maybe even just one hundred more chips I would just call. Infact calling I think is fine too but I do like the push.
