QQ, CO, first round
A couple hands earlier, I had to fold my unimproved AKo on the turn after a couple of attempts to win the pot, which explains why my stack is short.
With so many limpers, I thought that MP2 could have a wide range of raising hands. Was this a "push or fold" situation?

Re: QQ, CO, first round
don't think this was push or fold, as you had 30 times the BB more or less... i think you could put in a 3x raise, or try to limp in and extract chips when no A flops... but when the ace hits it's difficult to play. I know this isn't an all in or fold situation though.

i think you could put in a 3x raise [/ QUOTE ] I was already facing a raise to 100 (from MP2). I think that dramatically changes things. |

Re: QQ, CO, first round
I agree. I wouldn't just limp 1/5 of my stack here with many people behind, and hope that a K or A doesn't flop. I think it is a push or fold situation.
I'd lean to push. |

Re: QQ, CO, first round
You played this perfect.
You can't call (violate the 5/10 rule), you can't fold. You can't raise anything than less than your stack. I'm not sure what kind of reply you are looking for. Good play. |

Re: QQ, CO, first round
with 540 in chips this is the right play. too bad that you ran into QQ. Twice in teh last week i was in second place heads up to win and pushed all in with pocket pairs only to run into AA. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] It happens but that doesnt mean you made the wrong play.
