    Fold. AQ is too easily dominated and blinds are still low, you still have some time. Plus if you push, there are 4 players still to act after you.

    If blinds were 50/100 I would shove over though.

    This one is an easy shove over, you're in much better position with only 2 players still to act and a monster hand that needs to see all 5 cards.

    I push both times as well, I dont see a big difference between 40/80 blinds and 50/100 blinds next hand...even though we have 4 ppl acting after us, AQ sooted is too good to pass up considering his stack.

    Can offer RB deals on most sites, PM me.

    Sorry, I thought the blinds on the AQ hand were 25/50, not used to the FT structure . At 40/80 blinds I probably shove this too, although I'm still not overjoyed about having 4 opps still to act.

    I fold this here, you are probably dominated/flipping.
    The blinds are 40/80, but the blind structure in FT is very gradual, you still have enough depth to play a bit

    hand 1- any reads on opp yet is a big factor in my pushing. at $16 turbos i push but its usually based i what i know at that point
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.
