  1. Both limpers have limped for the last 3 hands.

    Do you raise or shove given your stack size? I wanted to raise but I'm out of position. Should i be bloating the pot to 600 pre and playing post?

  2. 1st hand push, next 2 I muck. I don't like giving away chips in 50/50 situations as the likely case of the second and third hands. 1st hand, its a gongshow, esp because they are turbos. Likely some donk with Ace-Junk will call, or K-J or even a lower pocket pair. Raising to 600, they might call, they might fold... flop comes and you have no idea where you are at, and the pot is already almost as much as your stack. Very difficult situation to play, you are basically pot committed to call a shove if an Ace or King binks on the flop.

    THIS。。I don't mind pushing hand 2/3 but not really keen calling with those.
  4. Agree with them ^

    1st hand just shove, you are likely to get called by worse. Next 2 are easy folds.
  5. I shove all my prime hands in these esp. early......some fish or 2 allways call with worse..
  6. 1st hand is deffo push then 2nd is close but fold dependant on previous action.

    3rd hand I'm calling everytime. I'll take my chance with less than 7BBs.

    Leave it any longer you have no fold equity and will be getting it in with a lot less than a pair.
  7. 1st is an easy push, you will get some ridiculous calls.

    Second would depend on the villain; if he is pushing a lot, it might be a call. Most of the time, I am simply folding there.

    Third again is a fold in my opinion. You will be in late positions after this hand, and you can push lighter from late positions.
  8. 1st hand I would make it ~700 pre to try to extract max value, although shoving seems fine as well (might even be better depending on how often limpers limp-call 20bb shoves at these stakes). Fwiw I would just shove JJ as there are just too many bad flops. 2 and 3 both fold (3 is closer).
  9. Thx guys.

    I really felt like I should adjust my bet sizing really good to start winning rather than always shoving.

    Hand #2 is a def fold, u guys are right. I should be shoving instead if I can.

    Hand #3 I felt was wayyyyy to close because My M was less than 5.


    Thanks again guys!!!!!!
