turbo double your money game tables shown no strenght was thinking i would do this with any 2 to steal the money in the pot not wanting a call

dont think i would of called with 55 in this spot

thoughts?

[Longy]

Its a pass imo.

You get snapped far too often by random crap by limpers here, we really are not far ahead of anybodys range here with a7o.

Chip preservation in this format is masssive, you should be taking less risks in the mid game to accumulate chips than in any other format of poker.

Obviously the 5's played it awfully but anyone limping in with 15bbs effective is going to be making these idiotic calls.

[gatso]

Its a pass imo.

he's in BB with option, pass is probs not the best move

He is passing for metagame reasons ldo.

Err ok i suppose you could check your option if you insist.

[gatso]

I check. hate the shove, as Longy says you're not far ahead of anyone's range.

once I've checked I'm looking to get it in on that flop

[Ironside]

there is 500 in there no one showing any aggression i have 800 back enough to put in a good raise and drive people out and get back to a near average stack?

[Ironside]

oh i am think i would do this with 72 or A7

[ThatsSoMinusEV]

first of all, please dont post results

anyways, i actually like this play. You fold out hands that are flipping a lot of the time, you fold out some dominating hands like A8/A9 and you get calls from Kx hands a lot which is good.

You have 9bbs and if the pot is 15% of your stack then a shove is fine. I agree that you get weird calls but you need to take shots with this stack.

I don't know about the standard of play at the $11 stakes but I think A7 is a good shove imo.
