A relevant hand to this thread
Party Poker MTT Qualifier - 30 left, top 7 qualify. Blinds 150/300. Average stack is t5000
I have t2700 and get KJo on the button. MP1 (t4500) limps, MP2 (t4800) limps, I push.
I have a very tight table image, having played maybe 1 hand over the last 4 orbits. My thinking was that pushing would increase my stack by approx 30% if everyone folded, and would cut any other stack in half if called and they lost.
SB (t5400) folds, BB (t5000) folds, MP1 (t4500) folds, and MP2 (t4800) calls after a long pause.
MP2 flips over 66.
Whether I won or lost is irrelevant.
Did MP2 make a mistake calling with 66 knowing he’s probably in a coin-flip or a huge dog?
Did I make a mistake by pushing with two limpers behind me? Should limpers impact your decision when trying to steal blinds? If there is always a limp or raise behind you, should you (generally) never attempt to steal blinds? (I realize this is read dependant)
