Table is semi-tight but the BB is gonna be coming along with any two probably.

Any suggestions?

I think pushing and folding are close enough that it doesn't really matter which you do. Any other play is bad IMO. I usually push here, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's correct.

Yah, SNG PT says it is barely +EV and extremely marginal. I'm just curious to hear what people say.

are you assuming BB will call with almost any 2? He just may given his stack.

people who write things like this without specifying ranges make me a little ill. is the SB calling any broadway? any two? only AA? nah, that's probably not important or anything.

I push, but I don't particularly like it. I wouldn't argue with someone wanting to fold.

schwza · #8 08-05-2005, 04:26 PM

i'd be inclined to push. others should give your push a little extra respect b/c you know you're going to showdown.

there's also a chance BB will make a horrible fold.

What about raising to 275 here? You're (albeit slightly) over 10x blinds so you have a litte room to maneuver... if they're tight they're not going ott with something you can beat so fold to a raise. Otherwise, they may just call with something like AQo and check down (assuming the BB comes along).

I'd probably push trying to get heads-up with the BB. If the table is fairly tight they'll see what your trying to do and stay out of the way. Not even AA wants to go 3 way.
