Default Re: First 55 AJ hand.

I gave a read on villain. Payout is whatever is standard for party sng. Are you really giving up Aj to a possible steal? As played would anyone push the flop? Anyone call his push?

What's the pot on the flop, 1500 with 1500 behind? As played you have to shove since you can't check/call his push which could be anything including a semibluff.

Don't put yourself in this situation to begin with, especially four handed and more so if one of the remaining stacks is short. Shove or fold preflop, the former only with a bulletproof read - risking your whole stack to pick up 300 chips here with AJ just ain't worth it.

Ok thanks.

I usually play cash games. But when I play tournaments(which is rare) I usually get far, but never with enough chips to win. So I was practicing with some sngs to get more experience picking up chips in decent spots.
