    hi

    Default Would you push here?

    FT of AP's 15 K. BB is uber tight, will probably not call without ace high, pp, etc. Payout jump is steep after fourth place. Do you make this play, if so, why? If not, why? Just looking for opinions.

    No. Because you have a shitty stack and shitty cards.

    having a 'shitty stack' is one of the best reasons to push

    Yeah, but anyone will call with almost anything given it's size.

    And I would think Q6 wouldn't holdup well versus a lot of junk. Eh.

    Just paid the sb so you get a few more shots at cards, mostly likely you will hit something better to push it with.

    But that's just me.

    yup good move, unlucky that he had an ace
    75% of online poker players believe they are better than 75% of the other online poker players

    hi
    k.

    my reasoning is he'd probably fold all but 20% of his hands, and that is enough to make me do it.

    i do that over and over and over again until i die.

    I wait and see the next two/three hands, I can think of a zillion hands I'd rather push than Q6.

    Push. Even against a good ace you aren't a massive underdog.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
