A4 small blind

    Default A4 small blind

    $20 180 on stars.

    i'm 21/24 blinds 200/400 with 6k. sim has 7k. sans has 10k.

    ai sim seems donkish to me... only been at the table 5 hands... limped the small to bb... for a limp bet out steal instead of just raise steal.

    2 hands later standard raises to 1200... folds around... usually good players are raiing 2.5x at this point.

    only have 15 hands on sans68... he's raised once pre.

    i'm 15.6/12.8

    i would just flat, but then again i tend to get squeezed often when completing sb but i think the times where you can see a flop and developed a draw to the nuts will outweigh the wasted 200 chips those times when you get raised out...

    i would never consider a raise personally just because you can get too caught up...

    i would probably call/fold about...

    80/20 depending on my feel of the table dynamics

    i thought a shove might work. although i don't want to get called. if i did was probably 70/30... yuck. but at least i was sooooted.

    i guess i just wondered if this might be a good spot for a squeeze shove. hard to say unless you're there in the situation.

    Hope for a good flop. Why risk so much in such a lousy position of SB. Also, if you push in you actually look like you are making a move.

    A squeeze would be a great play if the first player actually raised and you re-raised big or moved all-in.

    i definetly would not squeeze in this spot with a raiser before me. the likelihood of him having me at 30% is fairly high i think. but two limpers.... could be middle connectors.... and hands i'm ahead of 60/40.... maybe small pairs (which might call).... or Ax which most likely won't call.

    i dunno. just calling seems like a missed opportunity.

    what are the other stack sizes?

    I'd never fold.

    i'm 21/24 blinds 200/400 with 6k. sim has 7k. sans has 10k.

    yeah i'm never folding for sure... when i can at least see a flop for 200 more... into a pot of 1400.

    in the moment i really wanted to shove in... cuz i felt i had a read that they would fold... i just didn't pull the trigger.

    If effective stacks were about 4k I would like shoving move. You have enough to CR the flop with a draw and get them off some hands after limping and if you make two pair it's hard to see them getting away from a better ace.

    so it sounds like you're saying that just calling and hitting a good flop is more profitable than shoving and picking up the 1400 in the pot now.

    200 more to possibly double up to 12k... as opposed to risking our whole stack to pick up 1400... increasing our stack to 7400.

    right

    also there is option 3

    it comes 26J with two hearts

    we check, J8/77/A6 leads out

    we shove and win medium pot if he folds or gamble 50/50 for a big ole stack.
