PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (2 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

Hero (t6994)
BB (t6506)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 2♣, 2♥.
Hero raises to t800, BB raises to t1600, Hero raises to t6969, BB calls t4881 (All-In).

Flop: (t13450) K♣, 8♦, A♥ (2 players, 1 all-in)

Turn: (t13450) A♠ (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t13450) T♥ (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t13450

Is this kind of move ok? Mathematically it should be since it's very unlikely he's got an overpair so i'm 50%-50% + a lot of fold equity, but who knows?

As an optional, with what unpaired hole cards can i also play this way? Thanks.

you only have 15BB and heads up so it's fine to get it in with 22 imo. It kinda depends on the player though, i'd probably not shove it all in against tight players.

In heads up i would probably get it in with any pair, AK and probably AQ.

(with that i meant with your stack sizes vs blind levels. Obviously if your behind alot you would push with alot more hands)


in HU range can be anything, so a push with 2's is ok.

I would have been wary when he re-raised though, to me that says king or ace and in HU that probably means your getting called all-in. but you got your money in pre-flop so fair enough.


i would just shove pre.

with low pairs you dont want him to resteal with 2 overcards. you want to get as much FE from all over-card combinations as possible. so shoving pre is much better than r/c

It is in a vacuum. But I personally don't like portraying weakness by openshoving 16bb.
