ITM, short stack pushes, is this a no brainer call?
Can't find the HH,e:
Pokerstars 10+1 - Blinds 100/200 w 50 chip ante (going to 200/400 in a few minutes) Villain - t1250 Hero (SB) - t2300 BB - t9400 I get A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 10[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Villain, who has been pretty tight, pushes after waiting awhile. Easy push/call? |

Advice, make a list of No-brainer autocalls headsup & ITM. Put some thought into it.
For example, if you're the pusher, you should be pushing the top 50% of hands, right? If you're the caller, you should be calling the top X% of hands. For you, figure out what your gap is, and then relate that to hands. I'm confident this hand will fall squarely into whatever X% is for you. Now here's a better scenario for you to think about: Blinds 300/600 Villain - t5000 Hero(SB) - t5200 BB - t800 Villain pushes allin, and you have ATs. Do you call here? |

In this particular hand, A10 was right around my lower range, mainly b/c the pusher was very tight and i had a good read on the big stack - who was letting me steal, so i wasnt THAT rushed for time.

[/ QUOTE ] I would fold here and let the villian play the BB one on one since his stack is so small. If he folded to me, I would push w/o thinking. |

Re: ITM, short stack pushes, is this a no brainer call?
call in a milisecond...for a couple of reasons. 1. you need to bust this guy to have a chance at getting 1st money. And 2 it's only half your stack. But I would move in not call...you want the chip leader's BB too.
