Default Lets figure out this PVS thing

Sorry that I made a new thread for this but the other one was messed up.

I know that a PVS is technically done with complete junk but go ahead and look these over anyway. If you would do something other than push/fold feel free to speak up as well (hand 3?)

assume that these are $50s, although if you think that the play would vary dependong on buy in I think that that could be an interesting discussion as well.

Hand 1:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) converter

CO (t3078)
Hero (t990)
SB (t936)
BB (t2095)
UTG (t938)
MP1 (t852)
MP2 (t1111)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, CO calls t100, Hero?

Hand 2:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) converter

UTG (t1105)
UTG+1 (t1055)
MP1 (t1065)
MP2 (t1555)
Hero (t460)
Button (t1835)
SB (t1500)
BB (t1425)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 calls t50, Hero?


Hand 3:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) converter

MP2 (t1235)
CO (t1075)
Hero (t1015)
SB (t2630)
BB (t960)
UTG (t1115)
MP1 (t1970)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls t100, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero?

PVS SchmeeVeeEss... it's a funny way to say "punish the MP/LP limpers." Do it in a good spot and your life will be sublime.

I definately push #2.

I probably push #1. A limp from a big stack in CO usually means nothing, so I would often push if I didn't have a better read.

#3 concerns me a bit. The limper is UTG and he doesn't have a big enough stack to pay 100 to see a flop with crap. I often fold in this spot with no read.

IMO, #1 is a far easier push than #2. Why do you feel differently?

My guess? If you get called, you're behind. #2 has more suckout potential.

Well, I hope it's something else, because what you said is false.

#1 - 990 chips
#2 - 460 chips

If I knew the limpers had 55 and would call a push, I would fold #1, but I would still push #2.

With #2, I don't mind gambling, so it's a far easier push for me.

The blinds in #1 are 50/100. So you have just under 10BB in both hands.

My main problem with #2 though is that I can see a lot of players limping KJ/KQ here and calling the push. After all, its "only" 410 more chips for him to call. I think that pushing will get called often by a hand that is a coinflip, slight favorite, or dominating. I like your point though phil about how you don't mind racing in this situation.

Is this a serious response? I'll respond in a bit. Please reconsider in the meantime.
