  1. Table has been pretty tight. A lot of pots people have limped and folded to a raise preflop. Whats your line here, would flatting here and play once the flop comes or shove it all pre??

  2. shove.
  3. You dont have enough chips here for postflop play...gotta shove right now

  5. You can't afford to call off over 15% of your stack, OOP, with a hand which will miss 70% of the time. Push as fast as you can and have done with it.
  6. I agree, its a shove
  7. A shove, really? I'd raise to 900 and if they come over the top I know they have AA or KK and I'm crushed. I'd shove the next hand with 8bb left and pray I hit.

    This play would commit such a high percentage of your stack that you couldn't fold; moreover, if I were at your table and saw you lay down a hand this way, I'd run your arse out of the pot with nothing, simply because I knew you'd never call with less than AA/KK.
  9. You cant go by "what if ".If you have AA do you fold when the K hits the board because they might have KK?????.Seriously if you cant shove here you are just wasteing money.
