$55 ITM: Defend my blind w/ATo vs bigstack blind stealer?
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (3 handed) converter
saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font> <font color="#C00000">HERO (t1840)</font> Button (t4380) <font color="#C00000">SB (t3780)</font> Preflop: HERO is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t400</font>, HERO? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] 4 and 5 handed, he's been contantly stealing blinds from the smaller stacks. I've seen him fold once to all-in reraise by the blind. Another time he called with k7s and sucked out. Now that we're ITM, i'm now to his left. I see 3 options: 1) Call and check/fold if the board doesnt hit me 2) Stop N Go 3) Re-raise all-in preflop Which would you do? Why? |

Does a stop and go require you to act first after the flop?

Ok I'll risk giving bad advice here because I'm sure another poster will correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't think you have enough chips to call and then fold a missed flop. Considering he's called reraised all-in's with marginal hands previously, I push here. LDT |

re-raise all-in - you have a hand.
I don't see him checking the flop so you can stop-n-go. - w |

Is this a trick question? Based on your past reads, you likely have the best hand right now. What do you normally do when you have the best hand ITM?

Committing a quarter of your stack with the plan of checking behind or folding to flop bets on flops you whiff seems poor. Pushing preflop should be fine, he'll likely fold. |

[/ QUOTE ] Scuba, It's been a LOOOOONG time since I was ITM at Lvl4 in $50+5... lol. At the higher blind lvls, if raised to me and i have ATo ITM, i push reraise because I dont have the chips to play post flop. In this situation, my 1st instinct was push, then my brain stepped in and said "hey, it's lvl4." So I thought call. Then my brain said, "Hm... he's a blind stealer." Now I'm conflicted!

Easy easy easy push. [/ QUOTE ] yeah, but a push is 18BB. risk everything this early in the tourny? Or am i too weak-tight vs the read i have on him? Also, what if i dont have a read on him. What to do then? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] |
