Default M of 5.4, UTG+1, A10o, Your move = Fold/Raise/Limp/Push?

Blinds 150/300

Stacks:
SB 2860
BB 4770
UTG (Folded) 5410
Hero UTG+1 2440
UTG+2 3775
MP 2960
Hijack 8275
Cutoff 2635
Button 2700

Table has been rather tight/passive overall, hero had pushed this round on the button and taken the blinds, and had a small confrontation with a button limper when on completed SB with 8/9, button had limped QQ, checked turn, and just called hero on turn when hero bet middle pair/OESD , checked to hero who missed on river and hero checked behind.

Hero is dealt A/10o UTG+1, M of 5.4, blinds going up to 200/400 in 4 minutes. Would you push, limp (with what intention), raise (how much),or fold here?

with 7 people left to act and ATo here, don't sweat this one too much. i doubt there is much difference between pushing and folding. not a very good spot to call for 1/8 of your stack in EP though. AA or KK are probably the only hands i could see making a case for that.

i also think this might be one of those spots where table image and recent hands might not play a huge role in the EV of the push. with tight table obv. you take it down more, but you're usually killed if you get called... and at a loose table you won't take it down very often, but a lot of times you'll be a favorite when you're called. the tight would certainly be better, but it might not be that big a difference.

regardless of the table??

do you fold AJo here?

i think this is kind of borderline but AJo i almost always push, and AJs or AQo i don't even think.

definitely not a limp. My gut says fold as you have FE against everyone but the hijack. I think you can definitely find a better spot if the table is tight and passive.

[/ QUOTE ]Ummm... I'm pretty sure he'd be happy to take down the pot without a showdown. Therefore having mucho FE = good thing.

If the table is genuinely tight then I'm pushing this.

I think AJo is the borderline hand w/ that stack... I'd probably push AJo pretty often.

How much different is A10o from AJo in this spot though? If you are getting called, you are likely in bad shape either way.

[/ QUOTE ]Good post and this is really the key. Unless you put AJ in the range of hands that the 7 normal stacks call with, then ATo is no different from AJo.

And I do think that some of them may have it in their range, but does that make enough of a difference to change A10o to a fold while AJo is a push here? As exit said, he wouldn't hesitate pushing AJo here but A10o he has no problem folding, and I'm not sure there is enough of a difference in EV
