$22: BB, push preflop or check and push the flop?
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter
Hero (t1238) UTG (t1218) MP (t1031) Button (t1308) SB (t3205) Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. UTG limps. Folds to me in BB. Push now, or check and push any flop? Or check and push any favorable flop? |

I'm going to have to agree, unless there is some table dynamic that you've noticed: like their all super-tight and you can bully later, and UTG has been known to limp with Big pairs. Other than that I like the pf push.

Thanks everyone. I did push, but let self-doubt creep in a little based on the result.

I think I would have checked and see a flop and play from there. Push may be as good, but why would UTG limp if he doesn't want to call an all-in? Still not sure... both options looks good to me.

Re: $22: BB, push preflop or check and push the flop?
For argument's sake, limping aces or kings here is often a +EV play against known pushbots. If your opponent has demonstrated smarts and pushbot ability, I'm very wary of the open limp on/near the bubble, especially when you know they know they should be pushing instead. Something I really had to watch when multitabling, and something I've done to effect against other multitablers who might not take the time to make the read.
If they're just a typical $22 player, then its an easy pooosh. Blinds are ridiculously high with stacks this equal with five remaining. |

Here's a thought.
When someone limps in 1/6 of their stack UTG in this situation, how often are they folding to a push? |
