    Are we profitably just open shipping in both of these spots? Are there other ways to play these?

    At what point do these become "over"shoves?
  2. im shoving neither, raising 12k-16k in hand 1 and open folding hand 2
  3. ehhh 1st one i probably raise/call, im not sure open shoving is great there and you could probably make more money raise/calling and shoving any flop if youre called preflop

    2nd hand i think is a pretty easy fold, you have a bit too many chips to be shoving utg here even if it is 7 handed, id want to shove this with < 19BB or so
     
  4. Hand 1: raise/call
    Hand 2: raise/fold
  5. first one i think raise/call is best but u dont wanna be getting postflop too oftn with this stack so i dont mind openshoving.

    2nd hand fold, i woudnt be shoving here until <15bbs
  6. 1 = raise and call
    2 = open fold

  8. 1: raise call

    2: 7 handed I cant just open fold probably raise/fold is alright obv player dependant. You can raise call a spew box.
  9. Hand #1 - raise/call

    Hand #2 - shove

  10. I don't believe pushing either hand comes to much good for you.

    In the first hand, I'd make it 20k to go, then usually call a RR; as for the second, I wouldn't play at all.

    If you had about one-third fewer chips in each case, then would be the time to jam.
  11. I think open shoving both of these is profitable, but not optimal. The TT hand you can open shove profitably for 30+bbs in the hijack, but raise/calling is more profitable. Agree with raise/call and raise/fold. Hand 2, I probably wouldn't raise/fold at a tough table, though it depends on image.

  15. The AJ i think open shoving has more ev than open folding. Remember 3 of the stacks have much less chips than you.
  16. Open folding AJo utg 7-handed + one sitter? I don't think I am folding.
