20:20 hand

[GreekStein]

meh, in this tourney i glance round the table, and see the age/demeanor of the players on your left, most important thing is to decide before you raise, how you will proceed if each of the players shoves. Make it 5k, you may decide to raise/call 3 of the 4 and raise/fold to the other. I do favour a 5k raise here as opposed to the jam. Im never folding/limping, or never raising with the intention of folding to any shoves.

Good post Trigg. Completely spot on and something I always bang on about for live poker and how tight people's 3-betting ranges are.

If we raise to 5k and Linton ships behind us its a fistpump but if Colin Young does it, my hand is already in the deck ready for the next shuffle.

why do the results even matter. ?

They don't, hence I've not posted it. You've seen me post these things too where I've won so not really safe to assume that I always lose them

In conclusion then: shoving is fine, but 2.5xing it and going from there depending who gives us action is better?

Yeah I agree. I know pushing is unexploitable but why would you do it? I don't think taking the blinds is going to alter your tournament position or your chip power one bit. You risk your whole stack denying yourself the opportunity to play a bigger pot vs worse hands in the hope of winning a pot that wont change a thing. You turn a pretty good hand into a bluff when a 5k raise could still take that same pot.
