Default Re: $215 - A7 in BB facing SB min raise


In case anyone wonders I pushed and he called with ATo, and I sucked out on him [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I feel like I might not have played the same if I had A6 or A5 instead of A7.

Cutains,

If socal pushes all in, instead of min raise, do you lay it down? I think he is the one who misplayed this hand. Why min raise with A10, just asking for you to push...

bingo IMO.

Only way I dont push here, is if this stack has never min raised before and always pushes aggressivly.

bottom line, his minraise was terrible, and his call all in was even worse. Your push was fine, and you had a ton of FE.

For people who say push ...

What do you do for A2o - A6o?

With a worse kicker does it become more of a push/fold decision rather than a push/call?

Good question

I honestly dont know where the cut off is. I cringe at A2o, and maybe the push is way too aggressive all together, but if it is, then we have found a leak in my game for sure.

I wouldn't push with A2o for sure. Wouldn't with A4o either.

Depending on how the raising has been at this Level he may be looking for you to push on top with Any 2...it's very close tho as he could be holding K10 QJ etc.

Cos he figures you are likely to push with a marginal hand like A7 and will need to get lucky to win when he calls. I think his bet is crying out for a push from you - he has given you the FE hoping you will use it and he has you well covered. I think he sucker punched you here.

Thinking like this will get you killed at the lower limits. I cant say how it would work above the 50s. The ONLY hands you want in are KT-2T, and A9-A2. everything else is not worth the risk.
