A move I make more often than not. Leak, or standard play?

3. If the blinds do not go up before they hit you again, I would not push this. You have about ten hands before you are confronted with the 100/200 blinds. You might get a good hand, you might get better opportunities. I don't want to basically bust out with 54s if I have that much room to play with.

I just looked at the HH. There were five hands remaining after this one until we hit L5. If I have this right, that would put me UTG at the start of L5. (I suppose that puts me more in line with what you say in point 2.)

I usually spend the first 3 levels waiting for monsters, and identifying people to steal from in levels 4 and 5.

In this particular scenario, seat 4 was a total LAG gambloor, so I wasn't comfortable stealing from him with any 2 on the next hand.

FWIW - According to Harrington's inflection point theory, I have an M of 6 here, which almost puts me in the "red." As soon as the blinds go up, I will be UTG with an M of 3, which is something I like to call "sh¡t city."
