Hated this, what should I have done (Stars 16 Turbo) - Page 2

The reraise is fine provided you thought you'd get a call. If you thought you'd get the pot there I'd have made it 400 instead.

Also, the rest of this thread between your post and curtains is, like, really really bad.

Also, pushing preflop does not only get called by kings. If it does in your games, stop playing them because you've managed to pick the toughest 16 dollar SNG's on the Internet and your game selection needs work.

Also, check/fold flop, etc. and I should stop typing out the word 'also' now so I will

My bet was designed to get the pot HU. I thought it needed to be this big. I do not get called by KK+ only here in 16's, I get called by all kinds of trash here. Mostly 55-TT AT-AQ thinking I'm trying to steal the pot. Once every now and then someone has AK. Almost never AA/KK.

No one considers just pushing this preflop and picking up the dead chips, hopefully get a donk to call with AJ or TT?

The pot is still way too small to push preflop.

1470 for 285 (SB + BB + 240 [60*4])? no. that's scared poker.
if you get called you better definitely count on seeing A A, A K, and K K. i doubt someone is calling you with A J and although i've seen it with 10 10, i haven't seen it often enough, especially when it's so early.

You don't play at the same tables as me then. It's unbelievable what people call with when they think someone is trying to buy the pot. There is no AA/KK around this table unless UTG+1 decided to get cute.

keyword [cute]. i don't play the $16s, i play the $5.50s and $11s. i'm prefectly aware of what these players will call with. there's not really too much of a difference in play.

What I meant was that 95% of the times there is no AA/KK here with this betting. I'm willing to bust the 5 times out of 100 there is. The 5 times UTG+1 gets cute.

I do not think pushing is bad because I might be called by AA/KK. Pushing is probably bad because I make more money reraising smaller or calling. I don't hate pushing though, considering that I will get called by dominated hands more times that one would expect.
