Shove.

This is actually a pretty boring no-brainer today but I wanted to leave a comment to say cheers to Mark for giving me a heads-up on the fix for not being able to see the Staff comments before you leave a comment yourself. Tried it today and it works.

Anyone else with the same problem, see below!

Hey 5Types – Try this: Vote on whatever, then wait for the page to reload, then just tap F5 on your keyboard.

For me this works every time to bring up the results, etc. Tested in both IE and Firefox.

Meh I said fold, but maybe I’m a tight-ass

Whatever is a good answer.

Yeah, I have the same problem, but I just hit “Refresh” (versus F5) to get the staff comments. It used to be automatic until about three weeks ago.

Sunshine, I would have folded too. But I’m using this site to learn… Hopefully I can start to apply it to my home games.

I like the way people write off-topic stuff in protest of the no-brainer question.

This is a pretty standard all in situation.

[K,2] is rated to be a slight favorite against a random hand in the big blind. Your stack is dwindling. You still have fold equity at this point because your stack can cripple the big blind stack. It’s time to gamble if you want a chance to go for first place. Folding here indicates you are ladder climbing trying to out wait the other stack. The big blind has the most to lose if he comes along on this hand. He’s in second chips and has an incentive to fold unless he has a significant hand to contest our shove. The pot before our shove is relatively small and he will retain a chip advantage if he folds.

I liked the shove with 10 9 better. The 2 means you are basically shoving with one card. In my own experience, one more orbit isn’t death and you would be surprised how often some decent cards show up.

[Reply]

This is a simple All In. As said before K2 is a favorite against a random hand. You need to take this pot down as you have enough fold equity. If you do pick it up you hope you get something on the button and try to double through with a bigger stack then you originally started with.

Easy all in.

Shove it like it was Hitler on the edge of a cliff.

Truth of the matter is in 3 way play, and shot stacked, and if someone folds I’ll shove for a heads up match with any 2 cards. But yo, I’m muy loco holmes!

[Reply]

Fold. As TomL said you are shoving with one card. You have 15 BBs and you can wait an orbit for something better.

[Reply]

It certainly isn’t a no brainer to any thinking person. You can make justification for either move. Many people would want to have at least suited cards or semi connectors in this spot. The staffs analysis makes sense but my first thought as our opponent here would be that we are making this move due to our shrinking chips and recently attmpted revised image and my calling range as the chip leader is pretty wide against the hero. We have enough chips to see a few more hands and one of them will hopefully be better than K2.

5types – You’re welcome I’m glad it works for ya..

Easy shove.

The blinds are 800 and 1600 and we have 10,800 at the start of the hand– 10k minus our small blind. That means we have < 7 big blinds at a 3 handed table, we really can’t afford to wait.
