Default Re: ($22) AT tight table

Yeah you have to push here. AT is worth a lot in this situation, perhaps as much as 12-13 BB. Not only is it worth this much, but it is worth this much face up. It makes no difference what they decide to call with, it will win $$ when you have less then that in this situation. It depends somewhat on stack size and # of people, but I would shove it with a lot more then 8.6 BB behind. It would start getting interesting at about 15 BB or so IMO.

I push this too. Infact, I don't know why I made this post.

I dont know the result so this is MO.
ANy bet you make ensures you are commited to the pot.
With AT I would do the same, you would rather take the blinds here tho

This is a very easy push. I can't believe someone thinks you should fold? From the CO? With 3 to act? Err.. there's no range they can call with to make this unprofitable..

I think its close. ICM may say its a clear push, but other considerations - stacks, players remaining, blind levels - lean this toward a fold. I respect your insight and posts, but saying, "I can't believe someone thinks you should fold? From the CO?" doesn't IMO take into consideration the other considerations I list above. Food for thought.

I'm surprised that this hand is generating so much discussion. This is an insta-push in my book. Let's not outthink ourselves. Image considerations can be disregarded when one would be correct pushing with his cards turned face up.

You're no doubt correct. The calling standards at the 11s and 22s lately have me looking for a better spot than this.

Welcome back (a little late). How're you feeling?
