HOH II Problem 9-3 (p 177)
Briefly you are UTG+1 with Q6o and M under two. You are still away from money. Edit to say nine person table, you have 4600 and blinds are 600-1200 75 ante.
He advocates a push for a few basic reasons:
1. Any A, K Q or medium cards is enough to go all in.
2. He is interested in in being the first to enter the pot.
I didn't think this was the right play for a couple of reasons:
1. You have a barely above average hand maybe 51-58% hand.
2. You have one free shot to pick up a hand if you fold and point two above holds by definition.
3. If worst comes to worst you have a chance to pick up a hand in the BB and you might be lucky enough to be heads up against one player.
I don't think going all in is awful, I just think waiting is a little better.
Thoughts? Sorry if this hand has been discussed.
