3 Push Analyses

[nokona13]

Okay, so what do people think? For 1 and 3, did I get caught in a routine play, or am I swinging too far to aggression in the late game? What about #2?

The 2nd two are easy pushes. The first one is close.

Don't push if:
(a) big stack has been raising all the time, but now checks
(b) if the big stack has loose calling standards.

Push if:
(a) Big stack has very tight calling standards (note: make sure these are his standards when he is big stack...he may be tight shortstacked, but loose big stacked)

I'd say check-fold this one without and excellent flop, Lean on the shorter stacks to your left.

The first hand I probably check and see a flop. I'd like to be able to get away from this hand if you don't get the flop you are looking for. You still have some time and a little FE before you are too desperate.

2nd and 3rd hands are easy pushes.
