Do a little dance round room with your hand in the air constantly screaming "I AM GETTING PAID", and call.

Ace Nine of green is b b b b beaven.

My thinking is that he isnt shoving with filth here, because he knows tighty is going to call with pretty much any ace or paint.
knows this so elects to shove rather than make a standard raise, which would probably bring the big stack in as well, and he doesnt want that.

Please stop being such a nit Kev

Your theory that the button is pretty strong so shoves to get the big stack to fold has actually hurt my eyes. The button has like 10k of the 65k he needs to win this. If he has a big hand or even a pretty strong hand he will standard raise hoping above hope the big stack plays back at him. He needs the chips in that big stack to win....so how's he gonna get them if he picks up strength?....cos pushing is a crap way to get them. It's not all about Tighty's blind and his 10k.

LOL at me being a nit ...

The shove may be meant to look weak to get action from  A9 ... did you ever think that ?

does he? it's tighty!

[Colchester Kev]

its 3 handed, tighty isnt bothered about points ... he knows he needs to take a shot, he also knows he could be well ahead of buttons range here.

oh ffs .... I was button, I had    , I am never making a standard raise there, too many cards that can fuck me over ... I either want to double up or just take the blinds is good enough.  I needed the league points and had been playing tighter than i have ever played on a final table, first hand back after the break i look down at the 10's and shove it. tbh i think it was pretty standard, I was relying on tighty thinking I would be pushing any 2 and making him broaden his calling range, the fact he had A9 was just my good fortune I suppose ... the fact I held was even nicer

errrrrr. he is shoving precisely because he will give tighty a decision with a top 20% hand.

just take the blinds is good enough

Are you seriously happy to just take down the blinds here Kev?

Once i have put my chips in, if i take the blinds then cest la vie ... Im sorry but i am never making a standard raise from a 10BB stack with 10 10 in this situation.

I'm still drunk and have only had one hour's sleep, but I agree with Kiv here.

When you shove the chance either of your remaining 2 oppos having a good hand is very slim. The chance they will have a good enough hand to call a 10k bet is very unlikely. So you will often just take the blinds. In this thread opinion is split about a hand a strong as A-9s in a 3-handed game. So this bet wont be called much and when it is called you stand as much chance of being behind as ahead.

Why force the big stack to fold A-rag and small pairs when he could readily come over the top with these hands? You must win his chips at some point. You have like the 5th nuts right now, and 3-handed that IS the nuts, and you don't want the big stack to come out to play? It isn't c'est la vie if you just win the blinds it's because you pushed your whole stack in.
