Re: Mediocre hands from the blinds
[ QUOTE ]
meh. you're ahead of too many hands here. maybe i'll do the math later and see which wins the pot more often. [/ QUOTE ] fwiw, i'm not saying the stop-and-go is the definitive play - i said the choice is between a push and stop-and-go. if one had reads (which we do not in this case) in certain situations regarding whether someone could or couldn't let go of overcards on a missed flop, i think one could make a very good case for the S&G over a push. if TT is too big of a hand to do a S&G, how small of a pocket pair would make a S&G acceptable? |

The Stop n Go
In a situation like this where you have a hand like 1010, the point of the SnG is not to get a better hand to fold really. Rather its to maybe, but not likely get a better hand to fold, but at the same time shut out overcards from seeing the turn and river, increasing the frequency with which you win the pot.
That said, the 1010 hand here should still be a push i think. |

What I did
I folded the AT without really thinking much about it.I really putthat inthere to see if I'm way tighter than most, and to see if anyone calls here to see if the flop is any help, but of course if the A falls, now what. If I think my A is good I should be pushing here pre-flop shouldn't I?
I pushed with TT and I'm glad to see most would do the same. I wondered if the stop and go would be the play. I prefer to try and survive with hands like this, had he been in later position i would have pushed right away, but I had a bad feeling about him upping his raise, felt like JJ or QQ and it was QQ. THe flop came AKK and I wonder if I might have survived if I had just called. Players were going out at a real fast rate at this stage, and I'm still 170 away from any serious money though, and I could wait a long time for a hand better than TT. |
