Default ($22): Hands like these are embarrassing!

Do you push this, or wait and pray for something a little better UTG? Up to this point I have had exactly zero chances to push.

PartyPoker - NL Texas Hold'em $20 Buy-in + $2 Entry Fee Tournament | Level: 5 - 6 players (Converter: PGC)


Chip Counts:
Button: 740 Chips
SB: 2645 Chips
BB: 1110 Chips
UTG: 2015 Chips
<font color="red">Hero: 495 Chips</font>
CO: 995 Chips

Hero is UTG+1 with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Blinds are 75/150

PreFlop
<font color="blue">UTG folds</font>, Hero ????

Yes, I push.

It sounds unusual that you had had no chances to push before this though?

push.
You already have no FE, but J3s with one player already folded is good enough for me.

Tigerite, you were right. I was going on memory, but in the orbit before this one I missed a few opportunities.

This one was close:

Chip Counts:

Blinds are 50/100

PreFlop

I didn’t push this one because the SB had just been eliminated, so there wasn’t a SB to pick up and the BB was going to miss me next hand. Stupid?

This was followed by pre-flop raises on every hand except the one I posted in the OP. But, what about the hand? Should I take a chance and push over with this?

The rest are close depending on your reads/ranges. This one is automatic though. You have less than 4BB and are paying the BB next hand. This makes the true EV of folding much worse than in other positions.

Edit: Pushing the J3 is correct when you find yourself in that position. It could have been avoided here.

Actually, the SB was eliminated the hand before this one, so I'm in the SB next hand, this change anything?

Yes it does. I push less hands in this situation. A9 is still a good hand with less than 4BB though.

i was thinking that too...the only reason for this to happen is if you just lost a hand to get yourself in this position.

And yes, you have to push this, IMO
