AJ utg
I was wondering what people do in situations like these, and with AT with 8-10bb's 5-6 handed.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (7 handed) converter Button (t535) SB (t550) BB (t1900) Hero (t1570) MP1 (t2815) MP2 (t2225) CO (t3905) Preflop: Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">Hero...</font> |

Re: AJ utg
I would say it's a push/fold decision. I'm leaning to the second but I dont play at Stars Sit&Gos.

Re: AJ utg
depends on stacks and blinds. 5-6 handed, i may push depending on previous behavior at table

Re: AJ utg
Raise 2x BB, you are in bad position to risk all-in at a pretty full table. if anyone re-raises behind you, fold. If they call and flop is non-threatening, bet. If flop looks threatening and did not help you, check and fold. If it helped you, bet.

Re: AJ utg
This is a terrible line imo.

Re: AJ utg
Take my advice. I would start reading a lot of posts in this forum. Raising to 300 is very bad.

UTG minraises often are VIEWED as signs of immense strength and will fold all the way around (often BB too). Anyway...Ive been folding this lately in OP's scenario. I have too much of a stack to push for 225 and not enough to raise. |

Re: AJ utg
This is 7 handed. I've starting saving a lot of money in this situation by folding AJ and KQ. If you had less chips (6-7 BB) or there we less opponents (5-6), then it would be a push.

Re: AJ utg
Hence why I asked the question, I feel bad folding or pushing and I would vomit if I called, but are there any numbers to show what is the right move?

Re: AJ utg
At bb being T 150 I think folding UTG is the play here. You have 3 big stacks behind you and may try and raise/re raise if you raise here. So I like the safe move of folding here given your stack size. AJo isnt a hand you want to go to war with just yet.
