This should be premium hand for raise here?

If BB reraise allin I call while if SB reraises Hero has to fold?

Not sure what hero will do if MP reraises allin, prolly fold?

2.5BB raise is ok here?

You should raise a bit more, around 700 and then if he pushes allin, calling is easy because of odds.

a raise to 500 isn´t enough. if you really want to raise you have to raise at least 700 imo but i don´t like it. you are commited if he shoves and KQs isn´t the greatest hand to call all ins.
with 500 dead money in the pot you can almost think about shoving but i´m not really happy with this as well because your stack is bit too big and people seem to call you like crazy with hands like A8 etc. at the 3s...
imo there is nothing wrong with folding.


i like the 700 preflop raise. 500 i think isnt enough

I'm thinking I'm misunderstanding something here... but this looks like an easy push for me ?

any raise is committing us so I just go straight for the shove button here...

I also agree with frzl that we can simply fold it here... but I think this is still enough +ev shove for me here :)


Raise 700 on 2,8k stack is commiting you ?

if your gonna cbet every flop yeah...

It paralyzes us a bit post flop obv... so i just shove it preflop


Two things:
1. You will have position on the flop and tbfh i want to use it if possible.
2. You don't c-bet every pot.

I agree with this. I'm happy to shove preflop because limp = dead money!
