Default Another check-up

I feel annoying posting all these check ups but a)I'm still new to SnG's and 2) the first check up I posted showed that I should have folded when I thought push was standard.

I would fold this. Your position is great for stealing since the big stack is on your right. Don't take the obvious coin flip here, and push with any two after big stack folds in one of the next hands.

I'm quickly finding that "standard" is subjective.

The blinds are really 75/150? If so it is an autofold.

I had a very similar situation last night (posted)...calling w/ 88. Replies where mixed. In my case, the pusher had me slightly outchipped (and it was 88 of course).

I think your position at the table calls for you to fold this. You'll leave the blinds no lighter than t1100. Better yet, you have both other shortie's on your left. Provided big stack gives you the opportunities, you still have time to abuse the others in their blinds.

I fold here, if the bb was 400 or higher I might consider calling.

Interesting. Do you think pushing into small stacks give you more folding equity than pushing into big stacks? Usually I don't think so, but maybe it helps that there are two of them (each one hopes the other one will bust first)?

exactly...and the fact that the THREE of you have equal'ish stacks. the blinds are not high enough yet for a 'desperate' type call -- same reason for advocating your fold on this one.

Pushing into people who can't afford to call and can afford to fold is the best [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
