Re: $11: Wired 9\'s UTG
Aw, come on. One little BB wouldn't be the end of the world here [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Pushing 14 BB's UTG 6 handed could be.
We've seen a few of these in the past several months. I think a viable option went something like...
PF: Limp, push over a "standard" raise (push over if/when a shortie pushes)
Post (assuming we got here w/ the limp): Open-push an undercard flop*, check-fold otherwise [*leaving a flopped set up to your own creativity]
We have a hand we wouldn't mind taking on a shortie with. We have moderate FE after limping, to hopefully scare the ba-jesus out of a LP 3x'r in quest for a decent pot...if not, meh-a pretty nice hand to flip.
The benefit is that we are not putting all of our chips in the middle, unless the potential reward is worthy of the risk (a start-stop-go of sorts). Open-pushing for a pot roughly 10% our stack doesn't quite cut it IMO.
Proceeding post-flop with our own 3x sucks the big one OOP. We're basically looking to risk 1BB or all of them, but we don't reach the point of the latter until we get someone else's chips in the pot first (or get our favorable flop).
