Default Big Stacks are Limping...

So lets take advantage of them?



Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) converter

UTG (t650)
MP (t1466)
Button (t3454)
Hero (t948)
BB (t1482)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls t150, Button calls t150, hero...

Final Pot: t525

the bb has been continuously folding, and the other stacks have been limping with almost any 2 cards, and have tight calling standards.

Anyone like a push here?

Yeah, although I prefer suited one-gappers and stuff to total garbage. Still, it sounds +EV.

yeah i usually like something at least, but this situation seemed perfect for this play, with just enough chips on my part to pull it off

Buy-in is important for questions like these, but I don't think it matters here, because I'm not pushing at any level. You don't have enough chips, and if you did, you'd need pretty damn good reads. Donks love limp calling, especially when they have chips and you don't.

I might try something like this in the $55's or a tight $33 table. Probably more likely to do it if I have been running good for the day, TBPO. Holler.

I wouldnt push with this garbage (at the 33s), but I wouldnt need much of a hand.

I would feel more comfortable with one limper obviously, and this is definitely at the extreme low end of my pushing range, but you don't have a whole lot of time 5 handed with 6 BBs.

Has anyone pushed back at the limpers? Are they folding to those pushes? Is that what the "tight calling standards" comment is based on? If so, and it's accurate, then go for it.
