CheckisGood 0 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I've been playing pretty tight and moved it in a few times recently. Seat 5 has been the most aggressive player at the table up to this point. Seat 4 has not played many pots. In this structure Top 5 finishers regain entry to Step 3 and Top 2 gain entry to $215 Step 4.

SuperJon 175 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Add in the following factors:You only have about 9BBYou are first to act with only two players behindNeither of the blinds have a stack big enough to call light, so they'll need a strong hand to callEasy shove, imo.

potatoman 0 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I think I'll be pushing any pair here, so 55 looks good to me. Link to post Share on other sites

rrumsey 0 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 No.It's fold or shove.so you would open shove 55's with an m of like ( just for arguments sake) 12? I wouldn't open shove that in that deep with a small pocket pair, but frankly we may, and i do stress may, be able to pick off the blinds (which isn't a bad result). A slightly better pocket pair like 8's and ill shove still with an m of 12 maybe. With a semi decent m i don't think you can shove that but i don't mind maybe trying to pick up some blinds going ultra small ball. folding with an m of like 12 seems pretty nitty with almost any pocket pair.

Rumsey, he has < 10 BBs and his M is 6.This is shove or fold AINEC.Correct.Not trying to be a dick Rumsey, just trying to help you understand.If OP raises and then folds to a shove, he'll be left with about 6 BBs, and an M of 4.

What is the best play in this spot?I fold because I'm a nit. The next set of blinds still leave us with a starting stack. I'm sure we'll pick up a better hand than fives in the next 10 or so hands. But I 100% agree with push or fold and like I say the nit here folds. Link to post Share on other sites
