Custer Hand #3(BP): 16BB, TT in BB, facing mini-raise from SB

[Paul Thomson]

Quick question, do we have to put in another $150 in addition to our $100 BB. Or do we just put in another $50?

SB mini-raised to $200.

[Custer]

Seems to me like I had 2 options. Call and give whatever pile SB just doubled the blind with a free flop, or raise to make him fold. I like raising. I don't think its close.

do you guys change your mind if vallian raises to $300 (3BB) instead?

Let's put it this way: Once it gets to the sb, I'm never folding preflop.

how low do you go? what's the lowest pair you'd play? (99s?)

No. I'd almost certainly push here.

my first reaction was to call and play a flop in position with a better hand, but there's enough chips out there that pushing looks good. plus there's some chance you'll get looked up by a worse hand.

Not to mention it will hopefully scare him off of minraise stealing. Easy push, two birds with one stone.

I'd be pretty tempted with 22. I'd probably fold 66- to a flat out push... but if I think I have any FE at all I'm definitely pushing 22. It's a battle of the blinds baby.

Doesn't hero have 16xBB?

22+ . . .

You guys have guts. Must learn to have guts . . .
