Push here or make shorty play the next hand?

[Costanza]

I think this one is ridiculously easy, but I'm on a slide since I tried moving from PokerStars to Party and I find myself constantly second guessing myself lately. Just wanted to make sure.

Blinds are going up next hand. BB folded to a push from SB on the last round when I folded from the button. My steals from the guy in the SB have been successful so far.


Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (3 handed) converter

Hero (t1105)
SB (t840)
BB (t6055)

Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

I think a bet of 1105 should be enough here.

Anything but pushing here is completely ridiculous. First place is 3 times as large as 2nd place, you can't sit around playing for second unless it's extreme. Here you have the 5th best hand in holdem!!!

Note that folding even A2o on the button here would be completely absurd.


(Okay I may have been a bit off about having A2o here, however I would still push as you shuold have plenty of fold equity from the BB. If BB will call any 2 it's probably correct to fold, but most players won't.)

This is an incredibly easy push.

I can only think of 4 or maybe 5 hands that might be easier pushes.

I tried to move from Ultimate Bet to Party and it killed me.Well almost, my bankroll and morale suffered. I worked off my bonus and came back home at the next UB reload bonus.

So yes Party can be an adjustment. I found the 20 player SNG with more chips to be more reasonable.

Good luck
