Hand from a friend. Is this a good push?

Raiser · #1 08-11-2005, 11:31 AM

Party $33

Blinds are 50/100 and will be going up in 7 more hands.

Stacks:
UTG-1850
Hero-600
MP1-725
MP2-625
CO-795
BTN-530
SB-1355
BB-1520

Hero is in EP with 22

UTG folds, Hero pushes.

I don't like it. 22 is too weak and he is pushing into too many players.

this was my hand.

bump for more comments.

You're screwed. Fold the hand. Pray you get lucky in the BB and triple up.

I folded 22 in almost exactly the same situation last night.

I just think it's too dangerous considering the chances that I will get more than one caller, which would make me a pretty significant dog. Add that to the fact that people's calling ranges include PPs down to like 44, and you may very well be going in as an 80-20 dog.

I just think -- I mean, you're in pretty bad shape here but you're not really *desperate* yet. If you go through these blinds and are down to 450, you still have a few hands during which you have FE. I think I fold here and hope to find a better spot before the blinds raise to 75/150.

22 is a with 6 to go is a bit close. I would probably move in though given that the $33s tend to be very tight. This play is very clear cut if it was 33 and UTG 6 handed though.

Edit: this was a big leak of mine until, um, yesterday.

pushing or disliking the push? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I used to like the push, then I busted a bunch, now I don't.
