    Default 33 ITM, solid big stack raises from button, resteal? ($60)

    Button had been playing textbook SNG poker the whole tourney, starting off TAGG and LAGGing it up on the bubble and ITM.

    Shove over?

    Poker Stars No Limit Holdem Tournament
    Blinds: t100/t200 (Ante: t25)
    3 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    Button: t5595
    SB: t3995
    Hero: t3910

    Pre-flop: (3 players) Hero is BB with 3 3
    Button raises to t600, SB folds, Hero ????

    So he's going to call no matter what given your stack size vs pot. So the question is: do you like your odds? A push to me here is a decent gambool. I doubt he's folding to you.

    I think a push gets a fold more often here than you think. It's 3300 more to call; not exactly great odds for the button. I push this pre every time.

    Yeah, I also shove here, expecting a decent amount of FE. I don't really know what you mean FlyingSaucy.

    Since a pp is pretty strong 3 handed, opponent has adjusted and is playing some what loose due to the the short table, and you have some FE, I think the shove is good.

    He's raising a pretty wide range here considering stack sizes and being 3 handed. You have FE and 33 plays about even money against his range. What was your image up until this hand? Regardless, I find a difficult fold here.

    Yeah, I did! Thought it was a getting a little silly continuing to play $27s with a 170 buyin roll. I'll probably still drift between the $27s and the $60s for a while though, particularly since spacegravy is running his $60 challenge this month...

    Thanks for the replies everybody.
