Early levels, almost short stack, AJo play (Party 109s)
I'd been playing tight, no reads on UTG, would it be ok to push with this here?
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) converter UTG+1 (t3195) MP1 (t490) MP2 (t1920) CO (t1110) Hero (t575) SB (t805) BB (t895) UTG (t1010) Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t100</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>. Hero..... Final Pot: t175 |

What a tough spot. Min. raise from UTG from a solid player screams monster to me. Of course it could be a maniac with KJ or less. I think you have little fold equity and should wait for another spot. I fold unless I have notes that UTG is a maniac.

UTG raises to t100, 4 folds. Hero..... [/ QUOTE ] Calls and sees a flop. If you've noticed that UTG is one of those players who plays a lot of pots and loves the mini-raise, then a push is probably preferable. Against a "normal" (as normal as mini-raisers can be) player, AJo probably isn't more than a coinflip against his range of hands. So you call, check-fold if you miss, pay the SB, and still have 500 chips. Little skin off the back. |

I think the only way I move in here is if I think everyone will fold and I can pick up the 175. If I think there is a good chance he gambles with me I fold.
