    Default 50nl: Bad push pre?

    I have no specific reads yet after only a couple rotations, but the CO seems bad so far. He's about 40/15 so far fwiw.

    I'm pretty sure I have a better hand than him, or a at worst a coinflip w/ a low or medium pocket pair, but I don't really want anyone else in the hand. So I pushed to isolate against the CO. Was this bad? Was his raise already enough to fold out whatever hands might fold to my push?

    $0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem
    6 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG ($24.65)
    UTG 1 ($60.75)
    CO ($15.80)
    BTN ($51.25)
    Hero ($60.30)
    BB ($93.70)

    Pre-flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is SB
    UTG calls $0.50, 1 fold, CO calls $0.50, 1 fold, Hero raises to $3, BB calls $2.50, UTG calls $2.50, CO goes all-in $15.80, Hero goes all-in $60.30 ...

    Damn I miss 25NL!
    calling might be the worst play it prices in a lot of hands
    giving BB ~4:1 and UTG ~5:1 if BB calls
    I dont think UTG's range is strong enough for all the action
    and what is BB calling a push with that he doesnt 3-bet?
    shove>fold>call imo

    but since you posted this I'm guessing there was a trap in there somewhere or you lost a flip, and that always sucks, but I think you played it right

    OK, ty guys.

    It did work as I hoped, the others folded and I had him dominated (he had QJs), but I keep trying to remind myself that just because something worked, doesn't mean it was correct.
