Call, reraise or push
$10+1 Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) converter
UTG (t695) UTG+1 (t365) MP1 (t2135) MP2 (t995) CO (t815) Button (t253) Hero (t1512) BB (t1230) Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to t200</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero ??? Yet, again, I have no idea what the min raise means. Is it my imagination or are a lot more people min raising? Well, any way, what do I do here? |

Re: Call, reraise or push
people just minraise sometimes. it's an $11. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Re: Call, reraise or push
Clear push,
Your not gonna fold. calling puts you in a very akward position if you miss the flop and he bets. the guy only has 900 chips and if you reraise, your pot commiteed and have to call watever hits on the flop anyways. If your traped, your traped, I say push. -Brian |

Re: Call, reraise or push
Call and play the flop. No reason to risk most of your chips with this hand. You have a nice stack, keep it that way.

But Hero's on Level 4, he's only got 15xBB right now and when the blinds increase he'll have 10 (assuming Level 4 blinds won't hit him again before Level 5). He's got AK AND they're suited...so if he's up against a small pp he's only about 46-54. Plus, if he's up against a small pair and pushes, he very well may get a fold. Hero's gotta push here. |

Minraises here often mean mid pocket pairs, or hands like ATs. Fish don't know how to play these hands with a 10bb stack, so they just raise a bit without thinking about how to handle a push, or how to play the flop. Bad players will call with plenty of dominated unpaired cards, and you're in good shape against a pair < KK. Tighter players will fold preflop, but calling gives them the chance to hit unpaired cards that you are ahead of, whereas they'd fold preflop. You have a ton of folding equity here, exploit it. Really really easy push. |

Re: Call, reraise or push - RESULTS
I pushed, MP2 called and revealed a QTo. The flop was KTx giving us each a pair, the turn was a Q giving him 2 pair and, just as I was about to punch my monitor an A came on the river giving me top 2 pair and justice prevailed.
