$22: Push or wait with an uber short stack

[11t]

Hero may be dealt a better hand for showdown value, but hero is more than likely not to be given a more +EV opportunity.

Mathematical fact, deny it if you'd like

Maybe, maybe not. For sure you'll be dealt a better hand than j8 offsuit.

That's beside the point. In Hero's situation, the most number of potential callers is 2. If Hero folds and waits for better cards than J8o, there are now 5 possible opponents who may also pick up better cards themselves.

The chances of Hero getting better cards in the next three hands may be good (which I assume is your rationale for folding), but the chances of one of the other five players getting even better cards are higher.

Is this REALLY what people think when playing poker? I always wanted to know.

All I have to say is...LOL.

Please explain. Are your hand selection requirements the same from UTG as in late position?

If not, why does that answer not apply equally here?

Stop! LOL Stop! I am laughing too much!

AKA: I have no answer, so I'll make it look like your question was pointless even though it punches holes in my argument that I cannot defend.

I have two questions.

#1. Jukel- did you lurk at all on 2+2 before signing and flaming some seriuosly good/smart guys?
#2. Is it possible to mute/ignore someone? If so please PM me and explain.
