    A few spots I consistantly am unsure of in 9 and 6 man sngs.. (full table)

    A. $27 6 max, blinds 100/200 2100 stack... UTG w/ 88.

    - Are you ever raise/folding here? folding? pushing? (%..?)
    - If BB has 900? or if BB has 3800?
    - Utg + 1 when utg min raise w/ 1000 back?
    - What pp are you folding? calling?

    B. $27 6 max blinds 100/200 3800 stack...button with AQ when UTG shoves for 1700?

    - Why do you fold/call here?

    If you call, how light are you calling and why?

    Thanks,

    Jennifear might run the numbers for you but im raising with the 88s and probably calling any allins and calling with the AQ.

    I'm always pushing in situation A.

    - No, always shoving.
    - Shoving and shoving.
    - Shoving unless I have a specific read on this player that his minraise means KK+
    - Not limping any PP ever with 10.5BBs unless I know I'm getting raised and I hold AA. I'll usually shove 55+ or 66+ UTG with 10.5BBs, but make that 88+ if the BB is so short that he must call any shove by me.

    I'm always isolating in situation B.

    - Because I have his range killed and I have a ton of chips.
    - Shover dependent, and stack dependent.

    Hope that helps!

    edit - always *shoving* the AQ

    Most of the time I still just raise with the 8s rather than push but thats just my style ;)

    so if u make it 3x w/ 88 get flatted, and the flop comes w/ two overs now what?

    shoving makes it so much easier to play
