Default Re: I\'m a major LAG

I was discussing this a few minutes ago on AIM with Ozzy 87/bigslick789. He agrees you can't fold in this spot, but interestingly he thought a push was the best play. I wouldn't make that play, but what do you think?

(08:43:47) N 82 50 24: what do you think about that play by Ian J
(08:44:00) N 82 50 24: i think i'd limp for sure
(08:44:04) N 82 50 24: i can't believe he folded
(08:44:16) N 82 50 24: i might raise, but i dunno
(08:44:21) N 82 50 24: prob just limp
(08:58:23) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: interesting spot
(08:58:34) N 82 50 24: u limp?
(08:59:11) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: he doesnt know enough about his opponent to fold
(08:59:23) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: i like to either limp or go all in
(08:59:27) N 82 50 24: yea, i mean, i think a fold is bad
(08:59:31) N 82 50 24: i don't like to push
(08:59:38) N 82 50 24: risking a lot
(08:59:38) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: why not?
(08:59:40) N 82 50 24: to win very little
(08:59:48) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: 3750 to win
(09:00:12) N 82 50 24: yea, so that's less than 20% of stack
(09:00:26) N 82 50 24: and you get called by hands that murder you
(09:00:33) N 82 50 24: except maybe a horribly played AK
(09:01:06) N 82 50 24: i'd limp i think
(09:01:29) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: i dont think you see an overpair often enough that it's profitable to push
(09:01:53) N 82 50 24: prob true
(09:02:00) N 82 50 24: but
(09:02:02) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: and the times he has an overpair you win 20% of the time
(09:02:09) N 82 50 24: yea
(09:02:23) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: and if you lose you still have about 5 big blinds
(09:02:34) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: on party 109 mtts that's plenty to steal
(09:02:43) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: you havent lost your fold equity with that stack
