Does anyone NOT push this?

[Mr_J]

I think it's mostly replies from people wondering why anyone wouldn't push...

[tigerite]

I think the min-raise, or raise to 500 or whatever, is even worse than a fold.

It's such a clear push I'm staggered by the length of this post. If you turned cards face-up you could do this with FIVE THOUSAND CHIPS and have it be +EV.

I'd like to hear someone try to explain to me why this ISN'T an auto push...

Don't wanna hear anything about luckboxes.

I voted for a non-push. Pushing strategy is based on stealorama, and not letting your opponent exploit your weakness in post flop play.

No mention was made of the tendency of the opponent and his playing style or your table image. So I voted no, since this is clearly not a push in any given conitions for me, although in certain cases, it would be.

It shouldnt be too hard to accept that NL is a game that can be played profitably with diversely different styles.

I wasnt going to reply, because usully the only thing my replies have done in the past have given a creative idea to a few players and been flamed by most others. Lose lose for me.

Anyway you asked.

Ok...I would NOT PUSH here if this is a UB tourney unless the blinds were just about to go up. However, if this is a Party tourney, or any other that has blinds go up after each ROUND, then pushing makes way more sense.

Cos ICM/EV are not The Answer.

What are your other concerns in this hand that could possibly outweigh a clear ICM push?

I think ICM overestimates your equity after getting called & losing in this spot.

aha!

edit: not saying this isnt a clear 100% all in...was just saying "aha" as in "take on me"
