66 with 12x BB in the CO ($27)

    Default 66 with 12x BB in the CO ($27)

    Sorry for another basic preflop question. Fold, standard raise or push?

    BTW pushing is +EV at all calling ranges (although only +0.2% at the tighter calling ranges 66+, AT and 44+, A7+, KJ+). Button and SB are LAggy, both having stats something like 30/20 or so.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button (t2385)
    SB (t3185)
    BB (t1595)
    UTG (t845)
    MP1 (t2650)
    MP2 (t1625)
    Hero (t1215)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with 6, 6.
    3 folds, Hero ????

    A standard raise is better for balance but open shoving is best imo.

    With the stack sizes push.

    If you raise youve 915 left, making any post-flop play almost impossible when you dont hit a 6.

    Id push or fold: but then see post count

    BLECK!! I hate 6's, and 7's here. I think your calling range above is pretty close to realistic, even for LAGGY's.

    I don't like a push here because I am not ready to put my tourney on the line with what will, most likely, be a coin flip, but I don't hate it either because of the fold equity.

    I thnk this would have to be a read based call. If the table has been folding to pushes with a tighter range than above I shove here. If pushes have been called with a wider range I probably fold.

    Damn I hate 6's and 7's here.
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

    You could go with a standard raise and then push harmless flops. I wouldn't fault you for shoving. If I was multi-tabling I would just shove and move on.

    I'm standard raising if anything. With my chipcount I'm standard raising, hoping for a caller, calling a push, pushing any flop other than two face cards or a single ace.

    If I feel that I am to the point of shove/no shove, I'm folding this on the premise that there's still 7 players left in the game and if I can wait 2 more orbits I'll get a better shovey hand.

    i push and not upset to take it down preflop. of course if you have been pushing a lot and/or have show down weak hands, i'll just fold it.
    if the blinds are really weak, i'll raise it though to 300.

    I raise 3BB, if you get called push any flop that does not have an A or 2 cards K-J
