  1. is this the correct push considering stack size, or do i wait for better position? Limping or folding here seem very weak, and raise commits me... any thoughts?

  2. I like it
  3. I'm no expert, but I definitely shove. Just bad luck you ran into a big pocket pair.
  4. Way correct, not even close to a fold.

    I thought you were gonna have like 2.4k and rags five handed or something, AQ is e-z push.

  5. Perfect push! NH! WP!! You got unlucky. If you standard (3x) raise here it may look scarier, but any hands that might look you up there probably call the UTG push too - hell, it's a $6.50 turbo Q10 soooted might call 'cause it looks so purrrty gleaming in the light. You figured out the other stuff so I won't make any other comments unless you ask...Now fire up another one and play on playa!
  6. thanks for the good posts guys. i'll keep posting more of these scenarios. i'll take all the help i can get.
