Re: Is this push OK?
Ok, so if I encounter the exact same situation but with a smaller raise from BB, should I be worried about the button or SB? I didn't worry about them at all in this hand, but should I?

Re: Is this push OK?
Is that such a bad thing if the BB calls? I figured I would most likely be in a race in that case and at the time I was OK with that.
One thing I have tried to pin down is when a race is good or...

Re: Is this push OK?
Well, this move will definitely be retired. You are right that there are much better spots and my stack gave me plenty of time.
I agree with betgo that moves are more likely to work in the higher...

Re: Is this push OK?
After reading the replies, I will definitely not try this again. In the hand, the button actually ended up calling my all-in with JJ and the BB folded. I fully expected the BB to call, but did not...

This was the PartyPoker Friday Special ($200+15). I thought he was making a move for a few reasons: He had pulled a pretty bold bluff in an earlier hand that he showed. I came over the top of one of...

Is this push OK?
Villain and I had butted heads a few times and I read his raise as a move on the limpers. I figured if he happened to have the cards to call, I would most likely be in a race. I haven't pulled this...

Re: Opposite of Seeing Monsters Under the Bed
Hand #1: My line was quite a departure from my normal play with AA in this scenario.
Hand #2: I am glad to hear that my call was not crazy. I didn't like seeing the spade, but I also thought he...

Opposite of Seeing Monsters Under the Bed
As of late, I have had trouble laying down hands after a scary river card hits, especially if I have committed a significant portion of my stack to the pot. In the past, I was probably guilty of too...

Re: Is this a horrible play?
***Bump***
Was this play too aggressive? I figured that there weren't too many hands he could have that would call this raise and against those that could, I had plenty of outs. This move is not...

Is this a horrible play?
UB WSOP Super-Satellite. Top four awarded 2006 main event entry. 36 players left.
Villain is pretty loose but not aggressive preflop. He's willing to take stabs at ragged flops.
Blinds 150/300,...

The reason I posted this hand is that...

Re: How do I play AKs unimproved?
Seems pretty clear in hindsight. In his position, this push would be mighty suspicious and he would call with a number of hands.
I used to take the line of pushing with a 10 in this situation,...

I waffled quite a bit on the first hand before folding the winning hand. UTG had AQo and shortstack had pocket 4s.
The second hand I pushed instantly and he ended up calling with AQo. What would...

Re: Push or wait?
With the blinds going up next hand to 1000/2000, would you pay the two blinds without pushing (leaving you with 3.5xBB)?
