Sometimes, people's stack sizes helps determine how likely they are to call.

For sure stack sizes should always be taken into account but PF raises are better evaluated as multiples of the BB.

In the situation where stacks are 800, sure, the odds are getting big enough that you shouldn't mind people folding. Deep-stacked, when you have a big hand you want to make a raise that your opponents shouldn't call, but will, that's where the money comes from.

Bottom line is that 3 people have shown strength before you and you have the best possible hand that loses value with each opponent that calls you. In any STT I want to isolate AND get all my chips in if I think there is a decent chance of a caller. Sure, if it's a huge MTT and you have mountains of chips relative to the BB a big (but not all-in)reraise might accomplish the same thing with less risk of everyone folding.

The post you're quoting was talking about the situation where everyone has stacks of 1500, that's even mentioned right there in the portion you quoted. Also, at 20/2's and below I see people call half their stacks and then fold the flop all the time. Don't assume all your opponents think logically or know what they're doing.


[/ QUOTE ]

I assumed the responder misread the OP as having 1500 instead of 800. And if the 20+2 players are that donkish, all the more reason to push.

These hands (AK and KK) will usually play and might even reraise anyway. Now let's work on getting action from worse ones.

There aren't much "worse" hands for your opponents than a dominated hand and an underpair.

I think the consensus is PF push.
