Was this a good push?
I apologize in advance if the answer to this seems really obvious, but I just started playing the $11 SNGs on party. The villian in this hand had been fairly agressive before the bubble.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter UTG (t1085) Button (t2180) SB (t2760) Hero (t1975) Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t700</font>, Hero raises all-in Seemed like a pretty clear decision to me. With AQ there's only 4 hands that I'm really afraid to see here (AA-QQ and AK). If villian has a small pocket pair then it's a coin flip, if not I'll probably have him dominated. |

Re: Was this a good push?
I like it too...you might even want to add maybe %5 fold equity if he was on a total bluff...of course if he's smart he calls with just about everything...but I think 5-10% FE is reasonable here.
You are not guaranteed ITM yet so plays like this are necessary as you cannot lay back here and let smallstack blind away. he'll double up/catch up and you will have missed your opportunites. I |

Yeah, push here. Villain is SB making a weak raise, you have AQ, the small stack is 5x BB.

Re: Was this a good push?
Thanks for the quick responses. It's nice to know that my instincts are right at least some of the time [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Anyways, Villian called with pocket dueces, no help for me and I was out on the bubble again. |
