Re: Good Push Situations?

Here is a little lesson that surprisingly many people dont think about: a hand like KJ is often FAR worse than a hand like 67 suited against a raiser or reraiser. The reason is that KJ is dominated by AK, AJ, KQ, AA, KK, QQ, JJ, which are all common opening/raising hands.

I was playing a live tourney some time back. I was short-stacked in MP with 5xbb or so. UTG is also short-stacked (6xbb), and goes all-in. I call all-in with KQs. It's folded around to the big stack(40xbb), who is a very good player. He calls with 67s. UTG shows KQo. The big stack hits his 7 and wins the pot.
At the time I thought this was horrible play by the big stack, but I've realized that it's actually pretty good.
