[Closed] sng 3,40$ A-A

Yes you could raise it to 250. Some donkey might even think hero is going to fold to 3bet etc.

It would be nice to bet more and extract additional value but unfortunately you already all-in. ♦

Pushing AI right away is an OK move. You also can make a standard raise of 2.5xBB or 3xBB and shove on any flop.

I like to play it according to my table image.

If I have allready been shoving a few hands then I just plain shove this.

If I have been raising 2.5 etc and I lost a chunk of my stack because I had to take a cheap showdown
and lost or I had to fold for whatever reason, then I 2.5 it here to disguise it. Some people do notice
if your shoving and then suddenly you raise and you can find the whole table snap folding to your
raise sometimes.

good advice, if you have been shoving a lot then shove. if you have not then do a small raise to induce action.

I also shove if the table is full of people that know me (they will suspect something if i make a small raise). if the table is all unknowns and fish then raising 2.5x is good.

This. IMO it's ok to be unbalanced against worse players. And also worse players read strength based on the size of the bet. So small = weak, big = strong etc. I would persoanlly choose between minraising and shoving though, I think if we 2.5x it with ATC here we are still almost committed in terms of pot odds to call a shove, so I don't like it so much (obviously it's nto a "mistake" when we actually have AA, it just feels very awkward).

I have some adjusting to do myself. Since my first baby steps into SNGs it has always been
said that min raising is not the way to go, fish minraise, a minraise is exploitable, and now the minraise is supposed to be a part of my arsenal.

It feels akward min raising but It makes sense to do so. Something to work on is all.

I have already been doing it heads up forever now, just not with 3+ players left.
