B&M - 1st Hand Push - What are your ranges here?

Poker Jon · #1 12-21-2005, 05:37 PM

OK,

I looked down at QQ in the BB.

I put the pusher on TT+, AK and AQ.

I thought with this range that QQ was a good enough call.

Given that there is also a MP raise and call, I thought if this move was made with AK or AQ, there is a possibility that other aces were in this hand!

Of course he flipped over Aces and I was out first hand.

I thought about this hand while after, but still feel I made the right play.

Cheers,

Jon

This used to mean that it was a bad hand. Nowadays, it means a solid hand.

Agree.

It depends how 'solid', solid actually is! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

No way I would have put him on AA. Maybe KK if I had the feeing he was new and afraid to play after the flop, but this is still a stretch. I'd have read this as AK, loose AQ-AT, or a mid PP.

I'd probably have only called AA-QQ, but would have been nervous about calling with the QQ.
