Title: Would you push or fold here?
Post by: giftedhands on November 10, 2006, 02:26:48 PM
Short stacked, person who made the min raise just lost a lot of his chips with KK vs A8o (runner runner flush!). Would you push now, or wait for a better spot?

I push here personally but its not clear cut, has our min raisor done this before or just with kk. If we had a bit more behind i could argue folding by i get it in here especially given its a $5 sng

How can you possibly fold?

push, problem with waiting for a better spot is that one prolly isn't gonna arise.

That's what I thought but a few comments were made after I pushed. He did in fact have KK but I managed to catch my A.

It's possible scorpio has a big pair but it is most likely he is weak here. The min raiser is either strong or weak (i.e. leaving you space to come over the top or leaving himself chips should he need to fold). It is very likely that they are both weak here but the first guy is likely to be the strongest, i push because it's more likely the min raiser is just playing badly (i.e. why isn't he shoving).

Edit, this was supposed to be posted after flushy's post.
