You did not have much choice here...

You would pretty much have to shove the next hand no matter what it is.

And you have yourself an Ace.

You fold this weak ace, and you could get 27os next hand.

Of course you could also get AA, but I wouldnt wait to find out.

2bbs left = push this before the blinds get you.


I hate these situations. Too many players left when the blinds are that high.

I guess I would have waited longer or get a better position but then I tend to play way to passive. Also you always risk getting worse hands or someone pushing before you.

So I guess looking at it here it was a good push.

Hi all,

I like the -$EV shove here. We have to make it to preserve our fold equity.
