How to respond?
I was in a 10+1 at party, early in the game with no reads. I was determined to play a tight game. I was wondering about how people think I should have played the following preflop situation (perhaps it is very easy but I am not sure):
Seat 1800) Seat 3830) Seat 4785) Seat 5: hero (800) Seat 72450) Seat 8785) Seat 9800) Seat 10750) Seat 4 posts small blind (10) hero posts big blind (15) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to hero [ As, Kh ] seat 7 folds. seat 8 folds. seat 9 folds. seat 10 calls (15) seat 1 folds. seat 3 raises (55) to 55 seat 4 raises (85) to 95 hero? |

Fold or shove, depending on how the $11s play these days. From what I've heard, a shove is totally ok here.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree, I personally will fold, mainly because at my current level ($5 SNGS on stars) I believe I can outplay my opponents and finish in the money the majority of the time anyway, so doubling up here isn't really necessary, and I've rather have 800 chips than none at all. |

I fold. Pass up on a maybe not even +ev situation to preserve chips for bubble time where I can outplay my opponents.

Re: How to respond?
I suppose shoving is OK too, I usually don't do it though. Maybe if the pot were a little bigger.

If you think seat 3 will re-raise, I'd fold. If you don't think so, I'd call and see if I catch an A or K on the flop.

But it is the 10's so it could mean anything. I'd call this, if it gets popped again it's going to be an all in by someone, so you can call here and fold to a push. |

If you're going to play, then push. You want to see all five cards. AK push against standard range is +1.2 BB but only +.4 BB with a call (considering FE).

Re: How to respond?
Granted I haven't played the $11s in a while, but from what I remember this is usually a sign that there's a pocket pair out there. I don't think there's enough dead money to justify a coinflip here (I could be wrong though) from a prize pool equity perspective, so I tend to go along with splashpot's first post that if you don't feel that seat 3 will reraise I'd call and look at a flop. This is hard to judge, so I figure I'd probably just call given a typical opponent.

I'd call and look at a flop. [/ QUOTE ] That's the wrong play. You're hitting flop 31% of the time. And when you do hit, most of the time your bet is not getting called with the A or K on the board. You win more pushing because you get to see all 5 cards (43% of time A or K hits by river) and you get the opponents money in the pot. Add the fold equity, and you gain 1.4 BB (push) versus .2 BB (call) against typical hand range. |
