If you say to fold, how small would your stack have to be to push it in here with 66?

[curtains]

With 1000-1200 chips I'd definitely go allin.

Fold. Too many people to act after you, including a bigger stack.

I push with 1000 chips, maybe 1200.

I'd also rather push with 66 if the blinds were medium stacks instead of short stacks.

[Big Limpin']

yeah, i'd muck...as far as how short to push....

Dang, curtains! You're post came before mine, but I was writing mine at the time and didn't see yours. That's happened like 3 times in the last couple days where we have said the same thing.

Two _________ minds.

At a passive table where lots of flops are being seen by limpers, is limping for set value absolutely wrong here?

I think so. Even at a passive table it is too late to do this. With only 5 players left and the blinds this high you don't have a good enough payoff when you hit your set compared to the cost.

Yes, because the SB is posting ~1/4 of his stack, and the BB is posting ~1/2 of his. You can't expect either one of them to call a limp, they're more than likely going to raise.

Follow up question, and I'm sure I'm missing something very fundamental here, but: If 66 is a push or fold hand here, is AA likewise a push or fold hand here? I'm assuming a non-push raise w/66 is out of the question, which begs the question whether a non-push raise w/AA is out of the question. My concern here is that, if you're going to normalraise w/AA in hopes of getting callers yet push w/hands like 66, won't that become a tell at some point in the game (push = good but vulnerable hand; raise = monster).

[lastchance]

No. You push with mediocre hands, you raise with crap and greatness. Plus, since your opponents suck, it don't really matter.
