Default Re: Comments and Results

Could we be over-thinking this...here is why i say that:

First, we are only 4 handed here, so play loosens up considerably. I make raises like this often because it puts one potential raiser (button on this hand) in the middle of a bet that if the shortstack decides to play, hes gonna push. therefore, if the button calls, he better be prepared for a push because you came out strong and showed strength...and if hes not gonna push here, he wont limp either, so he will fold. if the SB pushes, now you are in the middle because if you call, he can come over the top and put you all in. so, if you arent willing to push, you will likely fold here. so, that means mission accomplished for him, he either gets heads up against the shortstack or he takes the blinds.

I make this type of move and its quite successful for isolating the shortstack. and i dont like it when someone pushes here, so i would push.
