Steal from button (once too many?)

Raiser · #1 07-28-2005, 10:17 AM

Party $11

SB does not play his big stack well. He's just sitting around and earlier mentioned that he's on a terrible run this week, so I think he's playing on scared money.

I had pushed my button the previous 4 times. Does that matter here? I think this is an easy push without the history. Is it a push anyway? I need the chips.

Standard. I would like to see the previous button pushes however, as some of those may not have been..

Actually hang on. For some reason I thought it was Q7s. Hmm this is much closer with Q3s, possibly even a fold.

I used to consider this push

You certainly do need the chips, but if you get called you need a chance to win the hand. If you get called let's assume 44+ & A10+ K10+ you have very little chance of winning.

I think you're better of waiting until the blinds come here, because this is a garbage given the possible calling ranges.

I'm glad you asked. I sometimes feel like I'm posting too many hands [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

BTW, looks like I was wrong. This push was my 4th in a row, not my 5th.

I think I would ease off because you've pushed the last 4 hands. Q9 I would push.

tigerite · #6 07-28-2005, 10:51 AM

I don't like the 87o push at all. The A4o one and the Q9o ones are okay. I would push those too.

The 87o push is better than the A4 push.

1) The SB's stack is smaller
2) 87o is less likely to be dominated.

Are you saying you wouldn't push the A4 hand?

No [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I was speaking in relative terms.
