PartyPoker - NL Texas Hold'em $10 Buy-in + $1 Entry Fee Tournament | Level: 3 - 7 players
Chip Counts: Button: 1760 Chips SB: 455 Chips BB: 790 Chips UTG: 725 Chips UTG+1: 2455 Chips MP1: 1175 Chips Hero: 640 Chips Hero is CO with 8d 8c Blinds are 25/50 PreFlop UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, Hero ???? 10 bb or less, I autopush this. Here I have 13BB. SNGPT says its a good push. I know it's read dependant, but what do you do here? And please feel free to explain your reasoning. |

Re: Mid pairs: medium stacks: what to do?
I make a standard raise of 150 here. That way I can make a read-dependent move if someone comes over the top. Not sure I want to risk 13BB on this hand for 75 chips. And open-calling is asking for trouble imo.
this is how I play the mid pairs at this level in a typical game. Not saying it's right, but I don't like my other options. |

Re: Mid pairs: medium stacks: what to do?
I think you have to push here... a standard raise takes out 25% of your stack and if you are called then surely there will be overcards on the flop making this really tough to play.
You are over 10BB but also a short stack with a good hand that likely takes 75 chips (or about +12% of your stack) or has a reasonably good chance of doubling up. rvg |

Re: Mid pairs: medium stacks: what to do?
I voted call just because I want to push should someone else raise. I'd hate to push for just 75 chips.

Re: Mid pairs: medium stacks: what to do?
I usually push depending on the table. Calling is very risky. If you have a pretty tight table, you might want to do a min. raise and follow up with a bigger one post flop depending on the cards. Tighter players will play bigger cards and will call just to see a flop but will fold if they don't hit. With a looser table, you might want to hold off until you get a better hand for your money.

Re: Mid pairs: medium stacks: what to do?
I suck it up and push. If someone has a higher PP, well, they have a higher PP.
Maybe this is a leak, I dunno. I think you gotta make a move. I just busted out of a game where I pushed from the button with 66 (blinds 25-50, I had t650). BB had KK. But what the hell else you gonna do? I don't think you can actually fold. Standard raise, then 3 overs flop. Standard raise then fold to a push? That sucks too, IMO. I think sometimes you're just destined to go broke. It's a tough spot, but I think you just have to push. I'd be interested to hear other opinions on this though, as I'm open to the possibility that I'm very wrong here. |

(SB and BB, you're in position postflop) With two overs and checked to you? 1 over? say 2 overs, and BB bets 100? I know these are very general questions, but I wanted a general feel of how you proceed when its call, complete check...fold, complete check etc...because I dont think youre getting action enough here to warrant an 8% limp. |
