Default Re: Open push from SB in level 5

Depends on the table, if it has tightened up enough that it gets folded to the blinds often, then I wait for the button so I can push and hopefully get enough for an extra orbit. If this is a rare instance that it does get folded to the blinds, I take my chances and push.

Why would you rather push from the button later when you have a chance right now to push from the SB?

I am almost certain that Eastbay's tool would say to push here, but I have not yet purchased it. I know that it's stupid that I haven't yet...

Also, for those who would agree with my push, what if the BB had a massive stack? I'm still thinking that pushing is good regardless (since I don't have all day to double up or at least take some blinds), but I'd like to hear others' opinions...

NO OPINION

Just a recent thought. Is BB's calling standards different here, than if a stack pushes from elsewhere, like CO? Meaning, if it's folded to SB, and he pushes, and BB calls with A4o, do you think he'd also call a push from CO with A4o?

Just curious about observations. I'm seeing a lot of (maybe?) correct calls from the BB when the SB auto-pushes.

I've noticed that too recently, but the two of us can BOTH be making the correct play at the same time. Scuba, my question to you is, absent any reads, are you pushing here? (I was multi-tabling...) I kind of felt like I didn't have much of a choice since a better opportunity might not present itself before I was blinded into irrelevance...
