Re: your move?
This is an excellent place for a stop and go.

Re: your move?
I don't like the stop and go here. Button has lots of chips and knows you are pot committing yourself. Thus if he comes up dry with AK,AQ,AJ or a low PP he will likely call regardless. I fold here. I like to be 1st in from here on out. If I am calling with this hand it will be when a very short stack pushes out of desperation.

[/ QUOTE ] After posting, you have just over 4 BB's left. You'll have about 3.5 when you're through the SB. Doesn't really leave a lot of time to dilly dally. Take into account that because it was folded to the button his range is much, much wider than the range you're suggesting, and also that the stop and go isn't universally recognized for what it is by all of your opponents, and I think it's a good move here. You have to play this hand, in my opinion, and I think the stop and go is the best way to get some folding equity. |

Re: your move?
i think folding here is pretty bad. you have 5x left, and you're far enough back that you don't care about surviving - i think you're ok with an EV-neutral gamble. you're way ahead (i think) of villain's range, so you want to get the chips in.
as for a stop n go vs push, i think a stop n go is slightly worse. you're not going to fold out any hand that you're ahead of (if you might, then a sng is way better than a push). you're going to fold out unpaired hands, which is slightly -chipEV for you if you have no pair, but adds to survival, so that's good. but you will also occassionally not be able to get the chips in against a hand that's drawing nearly dead to your pair, which is a disaster. so i push. |

Re: your move?
This is a button raise, reads would be extremely helpful here.

Re: your move?
I think you have some FE here so I'd vote push, though I think stop n go is OK, too.
that's odd, with no real read, i'd assume you have no folding equity at all with a preflop push. citanul |

After his initial bet of 350, he has 1,550 left. Not great, but about 10xBB and more than shorty and more than you will have if you push and he folds. If you push, he calls, and he loses, he will be down to 1,100 and the second lowest stack. His raise is interesting because it is slightly more than 3xBB, enough to put SB all-in. It looks like he wants to go heads up with SB, but not do the big dance with a larger stack. A read here would be very helpful, but minus a read, raising range of button is wide enough to often give you a coin flip or dominating A and I do think you have some FE here. |
