Default Re: $22: push any two from SB here?

[ QUOTE ]
When kyro says that pushing is bad at the 22s, it applies mostly to when blinds are worth picking up, but you still have a relatively nice stack >8BB, and certainly when you're sitting rather pretty at 12BB as in this case. When your opponent will call you with [censored] like QJ, he's being too loose, and that ends up hurting you because your hand has little intrinsic value. When blinds are bigger, like 100/200, his unmodified call range is too tight and now a push is enormously +EV for you.

I agree with you. I was evaluating this as a bubble play, not six-handed. Pin the tail on the donkey... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
