do you push here?

[Advanex13 0]

This is just in a friendly tournament at home. 18 people.HU against a guy with 68$ in chips.I have 264$ in chips.Blinds are 6$/12$.I'm SB with 7 2 I call.He raises to 46$.I put him all in for the rest. Would you push here headsup or not?

Not.

no, there is no need to. He puts you to a choice and it should be the other way around.

Why risk doubling him up w/ a marginal hand.... wait for a better one, just because you have a lot more chips than him doesn't mean it's ok to donk off some more w/ 7 2 suited...Or call w/ it and outdraw his AK... whatever.^ ^

Nope. Blinds are too high for his chip stack, put him in a position that he has to push in with crap. You are a favorite agaist almost nothing. There's no reason to double him up here and be pretty much even in chips.

even though harrington says it's incorrect, with as short as he is, i fold this in the sb...too much of a chance he'll push when he only has 5bbish left

Well since he has pretty much pot comitted himself with the raise, thenyou are more or less CALLING his allin with 7-2 .The only way your gonna push there is you push first and put him to the test., but i still think I would wait for a better situation.

Why do people feel they need to take chances against short stacks that they normally wouldn't? I mean, you are giving up a good portion of your chips and will most likely keep this player in the game.Re-rasing a short stack with 72 is a donkey move

what a stupid question, i missed the sw.

Well, he had 95 suited. He was trying to make a play to take the blinds.I hit my 7 and it was over for him.I appreciate the input though...I always push on the short stacks. My style is to push push push...even doubling him up still leaves me as almost 2-1 on his chips.

You weren't pushing on the short stack. You were basically calling his all in with 7-2.

Maybe it is the new thing here...all threads are actually sarcastic threads, and people just post them for the hell of it. HORRIBLE PLAY BY BOTH'UM YUZ!

Of course he's short stacked, of course I'm basically calling his all in, but I was the one that put him in for the rest of his chips. He had a marginal hand - as I did - and heads up..if I was to double him up it wasn't a huge loss to myself.Putting him all in is not the same as calling it. I wanted to either end it or if I doubled him up, pick a spot at a different time. Atleast with a bigger stack he won't be forced to try and make plays on the blinds *every* hand.

I don't k now why but this honestly sounds like to me, I have such a large chip lead, why don't we just go all in blind every hand and deal with cards out.
