Stupid push?

    Default Stupid push?

    5 players left 30$ 2 table SNG
    Stacks
    Hero(button): 7200 with K8o
    SB : 2600
    BB: 517
    UG: 6332
    UG+1: 3351
    SB posts 100
    BB posts 200
    UG folds
    UG+1 folds
    Hero is all in

    SB is playing scared and won't call without a monster (AA KK QQ + maybe AK). BB is solid and I believe he will call with ANY 2.

    fine play but why not make it 800 to go, then you can lay down if SB comes over top? If he's only playing 4 hands, he's playing them whatever you raise.

    Very true...would have been smarter to bet 800. Though I suppose then sb might call with more hands...SB folded and BB called with 62o. He lucked out that time though and survived till he was BB next time(when I did the same with JJ). At what stacksize do u start making these moves? I generally do it in these games when I've got about 6 or 7 times the risked chips...Ie I might make this move here with 3500 chips too. Is that too conservative?

    Nah, I'm not so sure. You said yourself that SB is playing scared.

    I think a legit raise, SB moves out the way and gives u a shot at taking out the BB.

    I agree with staresy. Don't get in the habit of expending more chips than you need to while still maintaining the same results.
    Field mice are fast, but owls can see in the dark.

    This quote is something that everyone should keep in mind. It applies to every poker situation.

    If the person is goign to fold to a 100 bet, why bet 120 and waste 20 chips?

    just to confirm, I agree with drmc that a legit raise for ~800 is good. I was just saying that I don't think that the SB would call with any two.....

    BB will call with any 2...not SB. SB will fold all but monsters!
