Default Re: Pushing BB after SB completes

Definitely understand what you're saying axeshigh, but how often is he really calling here? Sure he may be trapping with a monster, but if he was going to call your all in with something like A9 or KJ why didn't he raise you to begin with? I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but you get a fold here more than you think.

For the times he's trapping you with AA, KK or the like: you are winning blinds enough times to make up for the times that he shows you a monster, in my opinion. It's not about how horrible your hand is, but how frequently he calls. If you haven't been making this play a lot, i think it's infrequent.

It's true that there's a short stack, but it's not so short that he's guaranteed to get called if he pushes. Just picking up the blinds pushes him to t2000. You can say "he only has 3 BB", but that's enough to have some FE. Plus, it's not like you're sitting on 12 BB. You need to find your spots too.
