push all-in p/f


got to put more in preflop 300-400 and getting close to 50% of your stack push

but on lower limits I would push this preflop and as played on flop push it , chances are the guy would raise it up with A preflop and he has a flush draw and over cards giving him several outs

Yup definatly push p/f

You were playing against big stacks. They will call raises with Ax. In your position you only have 2 options in almost any situation: Push or Fold. Don't limp or raise.

Hi punta,

I like to fold here on the flop. We are either 60/40 ahead (against a flushdraw and no overs), slightly ahead (against a flushdraw with 1+ overs) or a massive dog against a made flush (rare) or an ace. Ace-x wouldn't necessarily push preflop cause that's pretty damn bad play.

Preflop is OK. I like to push more at the lower limits though. At higher limits I like these raises because they induce an all-in from my opponents with a wider range (resteals, and they think they have fold equity), and they call you a lot less (because they know that implied odds are horrible).

EDIT: Oh, just adding: if we had the jack of hearts this is an instapush for me on the flop.
