I have just started playing $3 speed on party. I'm used to playing turbo knockouts on stars where the field shortens pretty fast. There seems to be alot more players hanging around at hight blinds on party creating a stale mate when everyone's short stacked. The tables are nearly full and everyone folds to pushes (except when i push!!) In this hand the blinds are about to rise and crush my stack. i find my self having to push any two card UTG when I have 4BB most of the time.

CO: 15/8/1.0 (60 hands)

Grabbed by Holdem Manager
NL Holdem $400(BB) Replayer
SB ($4,100)
Hero ($2,420)
UTG ($2,600)
UTG+1 ($690)
CO ($5,110)
BTN ($5,080)

Dealt to Hero Q♦ J♦

fold, fold, CO raises to $800, fold, fold, Hero calls $400

FLOP ($1,800) 7♣ 6♣ T♣

Hero bets $1,620 (AI), CO folds

Hero shows Q♦ J♦

Hero wins $1,800

Hello dawsuk,

Preflop:

I don't think we got fold equity here. Let say that CO pushed. Nash range for call here is : 14.6%, 44+ A5s+ A8o+ KJs+ KQo. I'm going to push with range that is near Nash. So i think we must fold our hand preflop.
You can also stop and go, but i don't like much that move. It is only good if CO is bad player and going to fold A high here.

Flop:

If u called preflop with idea to stop and go, it is OK to push here.

Best regards,
Antoan :pokerface:

thanks for the reply. my plan preflop was stop and go because I wanted to play the hand but knew he wouldn't fold preflop. I don't know how effective this move really is at these stakes. maybe the flush on the flop worked in my favour :tongue:
