All-in this hand or next hand?

    Default All-in this hand or next hand?

    I'm short stacked, and UTG. I'm pretty much committed to going all in either this hand, or the next hand when I'm the BB.

    What hands are not good enough to go all-in with here?

    Ex: 5 handed, short stack 4XBB, I get dealt 67s UTG.

    Suited connector is better then a random hand IMO. I'd push here.

    Someone care to run the numbers, and post the link to where you got the numbers from.

    I need more info... what are the stacks behind you? What's your read on your chances of getting them to fold? These aren't major factors when you're desperate for a double up, but they are factors.

    Given what we know, I probably push. if you get called, I'd say your cards are very likey to at least be live, and the suiting helps.

    If you expect bb to insta call with any two, I'd fold. This usually happens when they have a bigger stack. Otherwise, I'm runnin with it.

    I'd push here, next hand you'll lose the ability to be first one in the pot so anyone who is in will call you. If you push here you have 4xBB so any random hands aren't going to auto call you (unless it gets folded to the BB which he should call you with anything), plus if they call, the have to worry about being reraised behind them. Example: if you push and I'm next to act with AT or even AJ i'm gonna fold because if I want to isolate I'm going to have to raise and commit a lot of chips with these hands and if someone wakes up with a big hand behind me they'll just push over the top and I'll have to fold.

    I'm really hoping to get heads up vs the BB with live cards. This is your best chance to do so.

    I prefer 96s here over K5.

    I prefer 96s when im stealing with a healthy stack. Becuse when I raise to steal and get called or reraised, I never get priced in or married to top pair.

    I definitly prefer K5 here since it plays much better agianst bb range.

    I like 67s better than 96s or K5o.
