standard situaton poll, without a poll.

Well it really does make a difference to me whether I'm 2 off the button or 3 off the button. Well it does usually, but not here, as I'm raising all of these hands with 25-50 blinds whether I'm 2 off or 3 off.

I'm raising 77 also in most games. I usually raise 125-150, but if the slider mistakenly goes to like 175-200 (maybe like 10% of the time), I let it stay. Helps to mix up my bet sizes [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If I had like 600 or less in chips, I'd move allin with all of these hands preflop in the 25-50 round.

EP (50 or 100)
- even stacks...limp'n. playing for the set/overpair
...will lead out though on a miss with a single LP caller
- short stack on the end...more inclined to push (if read tells me big stack will 'let' me)

CO+ (50 or 100, even or not)
- raising 2.5-3x or pushing depending on who's behind me
....reraised? pushing back depending on who's pushing

88-TT w/ blinds of 50/100 even stacks.
I like your play of raising to t250. I'd probably raise to t275 just to disguise it as more of a 3xBB bet than a disguised mini-raise. I might call with TT here and take my chances at flopping the overpair but I am more interested in what other think about this idea. I'm folding to a raise

55-TT w/ 25/50 blinds, even stacks
I am betting the standard t150 in this position. If the next person not to fold pushes and the hand gets folded back to me I am calling with 77+.

If the stacks were uneven it would be much more read dependent IMO. great discussion though!

push 88
push 99
push TT

and they would probably have lower calling standards to boot.

thats the point...you either

A) Take down the blinds
B) Get called by a hand you're a big FAV against (Ax or under pair)
C) Get called and you're a coin-flip
or least likely...D) You're a huge dog.

% of each taking place...

Probably something like:

A) 60%
B) 20%
C) 15%
D) 5%

So if i'm at all close with the numbers...80% of the time you are loving life...15% you are 50/50 to win and 5% you're killed...i'll take this any day.
