3rd again-is this bad ?

phrosty · #1 09-12-2005, 05:34 PM

I've come across this situation a couple times lately and I'm not sure if I should just let it go or push given stack and blind sizes? I don't want to play for second but.....?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (3 handed) converter

Button (t5085)
SB (t1510)
Hero (t1405)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
1 fold, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t600) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets t300, Hero calls [t1405] , SB calls t805.

Turn: (t1705) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

River: (t1705) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

Final Pot: t1705

i DO NOT MIND the way u played it. Preflop push woulnd't be bad either. This is assuming no reads in a $22/$33-- in a $10, i MIGHT play for 2nd, because FE is so limited in a 10 game

preflop push? why is this better? I felt like with the OESD
at the very least I wasn't drawing dead. I'm more interested in knowing at what point based on stack/blinds it becomes correct to push (when it is wrong to fold)

pushign preflop isn't bad, if u know he has been raising alot... i often make pushes like these when SB limps into me.. sometimes they limp w/ monsters, but often they limp w/ crap and fold.

If you're in the SB with this hand, folded to you, I am very, very sure that should be pushing 100% of the time, with your measly stack, of course.
