Re: Party $20+2: AKs first hand - Do we gamble?
Very big possibility that I'm bias. That's why i edited my post to ask for the same data you are asking for. Also, let me restate that I normally call here....

Re: Party $20+2: AKs first hand - Do we gamble?
Oh yeah, and many of my obsevations are also from MTT's. I think that makes a big difference and you will be shown AA-KK more often in MTT's.

Re: Party $20+2: AKs first hand - Do we gamble?
Just random observation here, but tonight in the 11s I saw two players all-in preflop. There hands were KQs and J5o respectively. J5o won the hand, of course, but donked off all their chips before level one was even over.

I think he's talking specifically about the limp-push line taken here by the villain. But I've seen it often enough by mid-pairs to say it's probably not AA/KK 80%. [/ QUOTE ] I think the BB pushed so this is not a limp-push. If UTG limps and then pushes to a raise.... I am seriously concerned. BB push ... less concerned. UTG strong hands are concerned about not getting any callers so they limp with monsters, once raised they push. I posted some first round all-in data about a week ago. My sample was small but it did show some really low hands going allin in level one. here they are... I did not have all that many SNG's in my Pokertracker DB. From what I did have I grabbed the hands from all the times that players went all-in and were called by another player in level one on party. Here are they hands. They are paired or tripled for hands that are from the same all-in event. These are what they are pushing or calling a push with in level one. [ Ac, Ah ] [ Ks, Qh ] [ Ad, Ac ] [ Qs, Jc ] [ 9s, 9c ] [ 3s, 3c ] [ Kc, Ks ] [ 9s, 9c ] [ Ad, Qh ] [ 9s, 9c ] [ Jc, 8c ] [ 7d, 7c ] [ Ks, Ts ] [ Tc, Ad ] [ Th, Td ] [ Qs, Ad ] [ As, Qs ] [ 8c, 8h ] [ Qs, Qd ] [ Th, Ts ] [ Kc, Jh ] [ 7c, 7s ] [ Ks, Ac ] [ 9s, 9d ] [ 6h, 6d ] [ Ah, Ad ] [ Qd, Kh ] [ Kc, Ks ] [ As, Ah ] [ Jc, Jh ] [ Kh, Ac ] [ Ad, As ] [ Ks, 4d ] [ Qd, Qs ] [ Td, Ad ] [ Jh, Js ] [ Jh, Ks ] [ 7d, 7h ] [ Jc, As ] Looks like a coinflip more often than KK or AA. I would bet that first hand stats are even crazier than level one in general. First level deserves some special consideration, they are crazy then. -- tjh |

I think the BB pushed so this is not a limp-push. [/ QUOTE ] Yep, I was mistaken. Makes it easier as you say, now you'll see a much larger range of hands then when someone limps-pushes. |

It is an insta push. Double up or fire up a new one. If you lose it was an easy $4.

Re: Party $20+2: AKs first hand - Do we gamble?
No it isn't. Taking gambles early means more early bustouts, which can raise your hourly rate. Continuous play means more per hour, sets mean less tables running = better decisions.

I play the 11s, but I call, I see so many mid/low pairs, and crap like AJ, doing this that I don't hesitate to call this.

The question I ask is, do we call this 100% of the time? [/ QUOTE ] Yes. You are getting 2:1 odds with AKs. You'll win far more often that that. Folding this is clearly -EV especially in the $22 where BB could be pushing any decent hand. He'd have to show me AA or KK before I folded this. Besides, you want to fold here and be essentially starting the tourney with $600? |

Complete in the SB and play for flush value.
