OK no real gripes here, This is a £5 DYM so im just a little curious as to what people think. OK so the object is to get into the top 3. So i open shove with AQ. J10 calls but is pretty short, which leads to my question. With 2 all ins before hand, surley the 55 is a simple fold />?

with blind levels at 75/150 and only 1010 chips, (6 bigs), most would shove even 3 way with any pair, all or nothing bet. Also you could have been seen to be 'bullying' the smaller stacks and not believed. It happens in poker, how many times have you gone all in with AA to be called by a smaller pair and they've hit trips. Also AQ..when you are sat pretty and more or less assured of at least 3rd, just a raise would suffice,maybe 3/4 bigs...if the 1010 goes all in.. he's done so because he has paired or has maybe AK , fold your AQ..wait for a better spot.

P.S. I am learning here from my own advice...lol

Right the thing is with a DYM, bully short stacks???? its a DYM not a tournament. Theres no bullying involved im playing to cash, not to win so i have no need to bully.

I prefer to fold till im in the money, i got my stack by shoving with AK and getting called by 99 hitting a K. But trully, is it wise to call in a DYM where the object is to cash with a small pocket pair when your clearly at best against 4 over cards?

55 should ship not limp

u should raise not ship

either JT should insta pass, even if he thinks u r bullying, he has jack high!

Thanks Shanxta.

This was a hand i wasnt sure of. I was quad tabling at the time so allin seemed the best option i wasnnt paying enough attention to my to stack sizes.
