KT os in SB ($16 bubble)

    Default KT os in SB ($16 bubble)

    I've been pushing pretty liberally into the BB for the past few rounds as he's been weak / tight near bubble., but he's just doubled through another player with kings.

    I hate useless broadway combos.
    Push this?

    Button (t2555)
    Hero (t3340)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with K, T.
    2 folds, Hero?

    It is good enough to raise in blind vs blind

    if you think he's weak tight enough to only re raise if you are dominated, raising to 1k seems good. If you will have to call a push if he moves in, shove yourself or fold. You need to give him a range to call and do ICM there.

    Push no. Raise yes. 1K should be enough.

    Since it's the bubble, he wouldn't risk it without a monster, so anything except folding is fine here. I would probably push this one because if he calls I have a bad position post flop..But raising is also a good play

    I'm not a great fan of std raising around 1/3 of our stack normally. The only reason I'd do that here is that you probably actually do have some image with this particular villian, so your std raise may actually scare him more than a push would.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    Shoving is pretty much unexploitable here IMO. Opp would have to call wider than 37% of hands (33+,A2+,K5o+,K3s+,Q8o+,Q6s+,JTo,J8s+,T9s) to make shoving here -EV and given your read I just can't see him calling that loose.

    If he happens to wake up with a monster and call well then that's poker.
