    Default help (horrible hand)

    I played this hand so badly that I want to knife myself, but maybe you guys could give me some advice on how to play this hand the correct way. BTW i made a mistake I thought I left myself with 300-500 chips instead of ALl in but since I didnt i really was confused on this flop lol. I was super tired though so I dunno...

    ok im confused as to ur analysis of the hand.
    but the answer is
    push preflop

    You had <11BB. You got a min raiser before you.
    Your raise does not make much sense, you are comitting most of your chips, making you pot comitted.
    Your opponent has even less chips then you do.
    You have 2 options:
    1. Push preflop (thats what I would do)
    2. Call his minraise and see what the flop brings, leaving you with about 9BB if you fold. In this case check/fold the flop, that is pretty much the worst flop you could ask for

    Your sitting pretty good here. You dont really want to "play" this hand you either want to see a flop or make him commit all his chips if he wants to see a flop.

    If you choose to just call check/fold the flop. If you push its a coinflip with you ahead if he calls and I dont think he would have called.

    You may have only had <11BB but you were 2nd in chips you cannt play a hand like that with the blinds so high and so many people left

    Repeating above, Call or Push PF. Flop Push is HORRIBLE. Why would he call PF without a single Broadway card?? Think of all the hands that are beating you here...
    AA,KK,QQ,JJ,TT,AK,AQ,AJ,AT,AX!,KQ,KJ,KT,QJ,QT... and the list goes on...
    The only thing you are beating here are lower PPs...
    Hey knucklehead! Bonk!
