You're "intuition" is off.
Or, you have caught the "push anything from anywhere" disease which seems to be sweeping this forum. |

I second your remarks.
As long as I can tell an opponent is pushing any two, which I very often can, I can profitably call with any A, K, 2 broadway cards, or pair. Last night I caught a 43o with A3o. He wasn't desperate, but he thought I was. [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] Sabre170 |

You get to loosen up so much that you fold 70% of the time and you win 60% (your range against random) of the 30% of the times you call.
Depending on the situation, maybe you were both right. |

Jeez this seems so foreign from the world of the 11's, where people will call with any face card, 98 suited, and the like. [/ QUOTE ] Not my experience. Is this because you tend to play at peak hours and I tend to play at non-peak hours, since I'm in Sweden? I'd love to see figures on stuff like average VPIP/tourney level, buy-in level and hour of the day over a large sample of tourneys. Anyone has anything like that? Does it differ as much as people often suggest here? |

Not sure what point you are making.
Me winning once makes up for 4 or 5 folds. Sabre170 |

If the blinds were high enough compared to your stack this wouldn't be true. There is another range of blinds where what you said is true, but it is still a good push considering the chances that the villian's any two hand will win.
You seemed to be vaguely indicting pushing with any two, so I was vaguely supporting pushing with any two. But, I guess I was just being a troublemaker. |

Which is better on the bubble with even stacks?
A. push from button with any 2, when everyone knows you will push with any 2 B. call from BB with top 35%, when button pushed with any 2 I agree it is a matter of style. You might even make a case for both, which takes playing the player out of the game entirely. Sabre170 |

If I have only 5BB or less, I should call with any 2.
Thanks for the discussion, I thought I was the one being the troublemaker. I love to play against the "push with any 2" crowd. Sabre170 |

I second your remarks. As long as I can tell an opponent is pushing any two, which you almost never really can, [/ QUOTE ] ain't wishful thinking sweet anyway, calling with something like A3o in the situation I described would be pretty bad. You would have to be sure that your opponent was pushing literally _any_ two cards before you could so much as break even $EV-wise. not saying that you would, just pointing out that merely knowing your opponent is pushing very liberally often still doesn't mean you can call. |
