Default $55 - pushing with trash against a loose opponent.

PartyPoker - NL Texas Hold'em $50 Buy-in + $5 Entry Fee Tournament | Level: 7 - 5 players (Converter: PGC)


Chip Counts:
Button: 3250 Chips
<font color="red">Hero: 1215 Chips</font>
BB: 2000 Chips
UTG: 1920 Chips
CO: 1615 Chips

Hero is SB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Blinds are 150/300

PreFlop
<font color="blue">UTG folds</font>, <font color="blue">CO folds</font>, <font color="blue">Button folds</font>
Hero is All-In

I'm still new to the $55s so I'm not sure if making moves like this is necesarry. I've pushed into the villians BB at least 3-4 times so far. So my image is that of a blind stealer.

One hand stands out that I remember from the villian. He had 1675 in chips with Q7o. Blinds were 100/200. CO pushes 625 and villian calls. Villian caught a Q to beat the CO who had 99.

SNGPT says that if the villian calls 22+,A2+,K2+,Q5o+,Q2s+,J8o+,J7s+,T8s+,98s or tighter, then this is a good push.

1) So am I correct to read that this guy is capable of calling with sub-optimal hands?
2) Do you push this anyways?

With super ultra maniac range in SNGPT, this is +2.1%.

You left me at the $22s [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I wouldn't push here against this guy after pushing so many times already. That said, I can't imagine his calling standards being loose enough to make this a bad push. Hows that for waffling? So my answer is... I wouldn't push, but I really should according to SNGPT. He would have to call with some real trash to make your push bad.

Yea, I've killed those 22s and 33s for a while now. And my bankroll is around $4500. So I figured I'm due to take a few stabs at the $55s.

It would take special people to call with 9 high here. I don't think many, if any, exist at the $55's. Plus this ups your FE on future pushes. Push all day long.

Calling 425 to win 925 with what are likely two live cards doesn't seem like something that should stand out.

What do yo mean by sub-optimal hands? If you're pushing nearly 100% of hands, he's right to call with a range wider than you give. It doesn't seem to me that hands outside your given range are sub-optimal for him.

I think so. A factor for me is the big stack to your right which might mean you get fewer opportunities than normal.

I don't know. It was probably me just over-thinking myself. I had pushed way too many times and I could tell he was getting pissed. I figured his range would be way wider than normal. But I did push, no way I couldn't.
