Preflop decisions...

[fjuanl]

Most things preflop seem standard but these were tough. What do I do and why? These are 2 table $20's; 4 pay

1.

button is playing 22/18 thru 100 hands. His blind steal % is 40. I remember him as being more loose than tight...didnt feel like I had a ton of fold equity

shove (but it kinda depends i guess on his raising range. If hes shown down AA and KK, both from button, then i guess u could venture a fold. Pushing here cant be THAT bad if button has any semblance of a stealing range) If you get called ur either flipping or out, not necessarily bad consiering u still need 2 to bust for u to make the money. Plus u have FE against button.

fold

in hand 2 ur even if opponents have a relatively tight calling range ur stillf ucked on pushing. If you imagine them calling with only the top 10% of hands, ur still getting called 40% of the time.

fold = at best a flip


fold = lots of bb
