at the 55s you are only going to get called by hands that have you beat. at a lower buyin i push, but you are no where near desperate for a coinflip.

edit: i just did an icm on it and it is close unless you have a loose caller. i dont think that you have any stacks that are desperate enough yet to loosen up their calling standards, but then again, there may be a total donk or two at your table that would make it worthwhile.

Why does everybody keep saying this kind of thing?

The players at the $55s are not good. Trust me.

Okay but isn't that a good thing? It becomes less likely that I get called, so I pick up blinds, which is what I'd like to do. I'd prefer not to get called...at least that's what I thought when pushing it. But getting called shouldn't be disastrous.

He is saying that you will only get called by 99+ Aj+, which I don't agree with.

It is not really a good thing, as you would love to get called by smaller pairs, A2, j6 etc.

I always push this at a $55, and I think people really overrate how good the players are.

I haven't run it thru SNGPT but if I wouldn't be shocked if this was marginal to -EV. A lot of people to act behind you and a medium pp that is probably barely ahead or way behind if you get called.
