Default Do you push these hands?

I have been struggling for the past 6 weeks. In fact, September was my 1st month that I actually lost money this year. I am beginning to second guess myself. Maybe I am trying to be too agressive.

I need some advice.

Would you play these two hands differently?

(Sorry, I could not get the converter to work)


1st Game

Party Poker
NL Texas Hold'em $10/$1 Level:5 Blinds(75/150)

Total number of players : 6
C/O: ( $1930 )
Button: ( $711 )
SB: willperkins ( $1143 )
BB: ( $1240 )
UTG: ( $888 )
MP: ( $2088 )

Blinds(75/150)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to willperkins [ Ts Ac ]
UTG folds.
MP folds.
C/O folds.
Button folds.
willperkins is all-In [1068]




2nd game

Party Poker
NL Texas Hold'em $10/$1 Level:5 Blinds(75/150)


Total number of players : 5
UTG ( $2890 )
MP ( $600 )
C/0 ( $1415 )
Button: willperkins ( $595 )
BB ( $2500 )

There is no Small Blind in this hand as the Big Blind of the previous hand left the table.
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to willperkins [ Ac 3s ]
UTG: folds
MP: folds
C/O: folds

willperkins is all-In [595]

Yes, push. If you lose, so be it.

Funny these are both at the 75/150 lvl. The month this lvl came out was my first (and only so far....knock on wood) losing month. This lvl created some betting problems for me that I had to adjust to. I don't think this is your problem with the streak, since this lvl has been around a few months. But you might want to check some hand histories where you busted out in this lvl.

As for the hands I would for sure push the 2nd one. Most of the time I push the 1st one. I will also sometimes make a single raise then push any flop. Will also limp some times and call the push. At this lvl you should know if your opponent will try to steal on the limp with or without something.

Try this.

I think both were fine. #1 is easier to pull the trigger with. #2 should seem easy also. BB won't need much to call you here and you're probably going to be on the good side of a 60/40. You can't really hope for much better when you're sitting on 4BB's.

these both seem like very standard all ins.

I'm interested in what the OP was thinking may be an alternate play.
