$55's... You have no idea how strong I am... or do you?

[lacky]

yeah, as I said in the first reply, I like the opening raise cause I'm folding to a push by the sb. Basically I would know going in that I'm gonna fold to a sb push, call a bb push, assuming no read.

In reality though there is zero chance that I can get this deep into a sng and not have formed some idea how people are playing.

you run over tables with the 3rd biggest stack? nh

I do know that the average player on this forum puts his opponent on a much narrower range than is realistic for what the average player has.

I'll drink to that. And I'm working on picking up reads, but this was my first session 8-tabling, so it's a work in progress.

Anyways, I think what really makes this a call is the times he is making a move, which I think is somewhat subtantial (obviously not ridiculously so, but the swing factor if you will).

I called like I had planned on doing. He had K6s and up to that point had seemed relatively normal. I don't remember, but I probably won because I am a poker god.

[adanthar]

I read the first 20 replies and puked when they all said to fold to the push. Then the next 20 restored sanity.

In the 109's and up you're *definitely* a favorite to most of their ranges, not just probably. They've loved restealing lately.

I'm not saying you should go to the trouble, but it would be interesting to see if you went over the Hand History and looked at the prior action of villian and see if the resteal is a surprise.

You adanthar and lacky are probably right, but if you know you are going to call his push, your stack isn't that big that folding to SB is that much different. A pretty narrow window for making raising better than pushing in the first place, unless you think you are a big enough favorite that you want to induce a resteal.

How the hell do you pick up reads 8-tabling??? Just one table keeps me busy...

Yeah I had a stroke the first day, but since then it's actually not nearly as hard as I had expected.
