    Default How is this move?

    Late in a 6,50 one table SNG. I have been very aggressive lately with my big stack. UTG has been folding to my pushs all the time, when he was the BB. SB has been nursing a shortstack for a while, obviously hoping to be able to fold himself into the money. Button has just doubled through me in the previous hand. Seemed to be getting pissed. Insulted me afterwards.

    I have included results here, because I would also like to know if his call was correct. He is a 70% favourite here. But SB has less than one BB left.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Button (t3070)
    SB (t575)
    Hero (t8030)
    UTG (t1825)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with A, 6.
    1 fold, Button raises to t1800, 1 fold, Hero raises to t7980, Button calls t1220 (All-In).

    Flop: (t11100) Q, 3, 8 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Turn: (t11100) 6 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: (t11100) Q (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: t11100

    Results in white below:
    Hero has Ad 6h (two pair, queens and sixes).
    Button has Kh Kd (two pair, kings and queens).
    Outcome: Button wins t6140. Hero wins t4960.

    Didn't look at the results. Don't think hero needs to even play this hand. It's not your job to bust every player at the table... though it is fun. A6 is not a hand to get mixed up with when a player that can fold into the money comes in raising on your BB. Let it go... find a better spot. The best position you're gonna find yourself in is one over card, and you're quite likely up against a monster or a dominating hand.

    Bad raise.

    The only reason i dont like it is because theres no fold equity here. If he had a bigger stack i would push over here depending on my read on villain, but not here because hes shown he likes his hand and will call only 1200 more chips.

    As for the results, yes i think his call his correct because you could be doing this with a huge range and a double up puts him at a good chips stack to get 1st or 2nd.

    button is never folding to your push here. let them have your blind.

    I agree with the others - just let it go. The fact that the guy raised 60% of his stack when there is a stack with less than 1x BB on the table means that a) he's never ever folding and b) he has something that he's just begging to get all his chips in with.

    On a side note I went out on the bubble a few days ago in a very similar situation to this when opp spiked an A on the flop.

    He can call with a wider range than what he had since you have no FE. Not a good play. Fold next time.

    What could the button have raised 60% of his stack with that he's willing to fold?

    It's very tempting to try to bully on every hand, but I think this is a major spew of chips that's potentially costing you the win.
