KQs ITM, short stack, time to gambool? ($60)

[taipan168]

Button had been playing ABC turbo SNG poker, very tight early and had loosened up significantly once blinds had increased. He/she had been raising pretty aggressively once it got to ITM.

Time to gambool it up here? I don't have a great deal of FE since he/she is getting better than 2:1 on the call.

What is push over if you believe you're ahead of opp's bully range, Mr. Trebek?

I'd prolly push, but then again, I play the lowly $10s, hehe. You're saying opp's laggy. I'm guessing he thinks you play tighter than him as well(Do laggs who play $60s ever choke in this situation if shoved over by someone deemed as tight?) If this has been his standard RR, it could be another blind steal.

The only thing we're worried about is a lower PP or Ax(if he flips over a monster, so be it). Even if he calls you down with the ace, there's a very good chance that we've got two live cards. We're a marginal underdog to the lower PP, and a 6-5 dog vs the Ax(excluding AK/AQ). but I believe we're ahead of his range here, and we dominate Kx, Qx type hands(if he calls for the odds alone). To the aggressor go the spoils!

Tai,
even with your read, I think I'd fold here. You have about 9bb's, and, in your shoes, I would feel like I'd have a better shot against this guy when I'm the aggressor preflop. Granted, you're playing against better players, but I can't count the times I've folded in situations like this at the 3.40's and won my blinds back the next couple hands.

this is why they invented the stop and go.

insta-push. no reads necessary.

I would come over the top

I play fairly tight and this looks like an instant AI to me.

I'd also shove over here. I think we're definatley ahead of oppos range.

I like this. Pot-sized bet left on the flop if we just call opp's raise, first to act on the flop, non-donk opponent who will fold lots of hands we're behind on the flop if he misses BUT will call with those same hands preflop (think missed Ax hands).

I guess I'd been burned so many times using the stop and go at lower levels that I'd almost excised it from my repertoire.
