A6 is not terrible because you only have 530 more after posting, have A high, and are facing a button min raise which can mean about a million different things. so thats ok.

910, i would push that. i play VERY agressive, and i hate min raising.. so if u raise it, push it.

A9 - fold

A9 again - fold

910 again - keep pushing.

EDIT: changed the 2 A9 hands. didnt realize bb was only 50..

A9 - push it, no question.

blind : stack ratio is over 1 to 15, do you still advocate pushing

[raptor517]

YIKES. big mistake, for some reason i cant read. hell no dont push. fold, lol. at the 25-50 level i dont become agressive. i wait one more round then go crazy. fold that A9 and wait a few hands for a better spot.

I'm confused. Aren't the two A9o and T9s hands the same?

Anyway:

A6o: Yep, I'd push. You can't tolerate this steal because it puts you down to 530. Push and hope he has something you're good to go against.

A9o/T9s: These are style things. I personally find I get bad results trying to run these dodgy steals. In both cases I'd rather save my chips and have a decent stack at the next level. Also, don't raise 400 with the T9s, stick to a standard 300 or 250.
