Re: A few hands from my wonderful day.
1)Sometimes, you have 12 outs. More often, you have 15 and are a favorite. Once in a while, 66 folds. You don't really have a choice. Folding ranges from mediocre to pretty bad. (Alternative: Call, then push/call any turn to represent aces.)
2)Shrug and push 3)Call, but it's close 4)I raise to 150 here, but don't mind folding 5)Either limping, raising or pushing are all good. I like to push here sometimes and get called by AJ but lately it's been 22 that calls so I'm reconsidering. We'll see. |

Re: A few hands from my wonderful day.
I'm being lazy and just agree with future adanthar. That is, everything he said, and not pushing the last one.

Re: A few hands from my wonderful day.
Hand 1: Push. Give your opponent (who could be bluff, or could have a small PP) a chance to fold. You don't always need the best current hand to play a flop strong.
Hand 2: Ugh. Less than 3bb, 6-handed AND UTG? I'm folding and praying for K3s in the BB. Same thing either way. You're getting called, unless the structure is such that everyone is short stacked. If I had 4BB or more, I'd push. Hand 3: Gotta call. Hand 4: Raise to 125-150 depending on the fold threshold of my opponents. Hand 5: Raise to 200, unless its early in an MTT and I'm at a table of loose call stations. In this case I push. |

[/ QUOTE ] I used to have this habit as well and mid pairs always would call and since I never win coin flips, that sucks. On the other hand I now push stuff like 99 or TT here all the time because small pairs call and I get to smash them and laugh. |

Re: A few hands from my wonderful day.
Hand 1: I push
Hadn 2: i only push if you have folded a few hands in a row (a least an orbit - when and how did you get/play your short-stack) OR if the BB is quite tight. if not, i fold. Hand 3: I call begrudgingly (sic) and hope to win as a 60ish% favorite. it's the way to try to get something other than 2nd. Hand 4: no reads and I push that. |

Re: A few hands from my wonderful day.
(In hand 1) So you guys are content with gambling all your chips away early on when you will have (in most cases -- barring the all-inner isnt a complete donk) AT MOST 12-15 outs. Plus, when you do get called, it will be more often then not a hand like 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], in which youll have 0 outs.
I can understand making the push here if you have a read on the opponent to make this type of play with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], but we were not given that info. I might be overestimating the fold equity, though. |

I might just be a noob at SNG's, but I cannot see folding in hand 2 as a very attractive option at all... we are still 3 spots away from the cash and nearly cripple ourselves with a fold, and the BB could easily call with 98s or 10 7s where we have a great chance to double up. |
