    Default ATo against a confirmed big stack HBL ($16)

    I'm taking my first serious shot at the $16's. This guy is a confirmed high blind limper, having limped several times at the 100/200 +25 level. He has folded before after limping, when we pushed AI. Are you pushing over in this spot?

    which means you were lucky. it could also mean he was "balancing his limping range" so that people get mad at him and shove wide on him.

    in general, being the comfortable second stack on the bubble, you do not fuck with the bigstack for the sole reason that he is the only one that can wipe you out. fuck with the smaller stacks instead.

    I think I'd probably just let it go. It certainly helps that opp has folded previously after limping, but it's a disaster for you if he calls your shove with his QJs.

    If you limp, BB shoves and original limper calls then what is your line?
    Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.
