[Closed] NL50 A7 resteal

yes, with 4 out of 4 steals i like playing back with A7.

with 3bb in the pot and oop you are better off pushing your stack preflop.

I just push to his steal preflop.

Is it 4 out of 4 on the SAME table or from different tables?? there is significant difference so that's why I ask it.

If it is 4 out of 4 on the same table then I shove preflop. Why do shorties 3bet here with 50% of their stack =S

In general if u play it like this, you are making this more complicated. I prefer a simple Shove button

- Gerv

Same table.

To be honest, I suppose I just raise because if villain is stealing with nothing I assume he will fold to 3bet where as if he pushes I probably fold -but I guess this is just burning money?

Usually you can't fold anymore to a push because you need only ~25%-30% equity (in this hand: 27%) for a profitable call and you have that with almost any decent hand worth restealing. Try it!

I'm embarassed to admit this comes as a surprise to me - but it seems, after playing around with Equilator, that you're right.

I see that even pretty terrible hands like 46o have the necessary equity against a strong hand like AK. On that basis we would almost always make a mathematical mistake by folding to a 4bet push. And if that is true then it follows that, if we are going to resteal at all as a short stack, we should almost always do so by pushing rather than 3x raising.

I'm grateful to you for alerting me to this - a revalation indeed!
