Easy pass, or too nitty?

[Claw75]

playing a laydeeees only game yesterday, and it's become a bit of a crapshoot.  48 remain from 85 starters and average stack is 10k with blinds at 400/800 (no ante).  I've just been moved to my fourth table, played a couple of rounds, but not really enough to get a feel for the dynamics.  Passed round to my button and I raise to 2k from my average stack with  .  SB passes and BB with 50k declares 'all in'.  I debated for a while, and eventually passed, but can't help thinking that it should have been a call with the structure of the tournament.

I'm also thinking now that I should have shoved pre, as, after passing to the raise, I'd be leaving myself with a push or fold stack once the blinds went up anyhow.

Ladies only? She obv had aces.

BTW very brave of you to open the button with a 9 and a 9. Don't women usually limp in this spot?

DOH...didn't see the "MY average stack line"...was too busy thinking "How the hell can you fold to such a massive over bet?...it's only a girl you're playing FFS!"

You have 12bb's in a crap shoot game and pick up 9-9 on the button in an unopened pot. Isn't this a dream scenario? Standard raise here knowing you will snap the jam....actually hoping for the jam imo. With a 12bb average the blinds really don't need 10's+ to jam a crap shoot button raise here. This is clear hand in the air time. Nitting up in a crap shoot makes no sense babe.

I this thread shouldn't it be spelt 'knitting'. I'll have a scarf please.....
BTW...snap call.

[Longy]

Just don't fold, open shoving the button is +ev. Opening to 2k and snap calling the shove is probably better.

[MANTIS01]

Standard raise is much better than shove. More than half the field still remain and open pushing an average stack is a serious consideration. This tells us we need lots more chips right now. Tempting the blinds to release the steam by pushing a wide range and giving us a full double up is a chance we really wanna take right now. A 25k stack gets us bossing the table...another 1.2k gets us what? Important point is don't raise here without knowing you snap or you may as well open fold.

I still dont know why there are women only events, Seems so pointless

Disagree with this. My wife still hasn't found the courage to play live but I think she would in a women only event
