Re: $55 BB hand
[ QUOTE ]
I tend to check/push this. I think it gives up a little value instead of check/raising normally, but it also secures chips.... which is how I like to play the $55s. [/ QUOTE ] Lorinda (or anyone else), could you please explain? specifically, why check push? And, much more importantly could you elaborate on what you mean by "securing chips" and why this is so useful at the $55s? Thanks a ton!!! Ryan |

Re: $55 BB hand
At the lower limits, I'm not so worried about my current stack size. The idiots are going to give me chips anyway, so however many I have at the moment is really just a way of measuring how long it is until they give me all of their chips (In an ideal world of course).
In the $55s, we are not yet up against the really really good players where every chip counts, but we also can't just pass up opportunities to win some chips. I think that by check pushing, it is very likely that someone will make a bad bet here and that we can just have some chips. Making a value raise of whatever is sensible based on the bet that comes in, is also playable, but I personally find top pair/bottom pair one of the hardest hands to play after the turn in an aggressive game. Too many things seem to go wrong with these hands and I prefer to just end them now. Coupled with the fact that there are still one or two donks floating around who will call with Ax, and I think it's an okay play. I wouldn't argue at all with trying to get more chips out of this one, in fact I'd probably do it on occasion, but I think my standard play would be to check/push. Edit: Changed preferable to playable. Lori |

Re: $55 BB hand
Lorinda,
I hope people read this!!!! These two paragraphs are why I asked the question and I think they are really important! [ QUOTE ] At the lower limits, I'm not so worried about my current stack size.

All I know is that when my wife figures out I am a idiot and leaves me, I plan to stalk you [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Ryan |
