3 mtt shoving spots facing min raise.

edited December 2010 in The Poker Clinic

Am I too deep stacked in the first one? - It doesnt how my stack, I had 2,2k.

Will I lose value by shoving 22xbb?

Shud I raise to 1k then jam any flop? - (and moan when it comes 8 high and he snaps with A8hh)

2nd hand

Min raise utg from a 10xbb stack and I have 88 in the big blind, and him easily covered.

No reads, but I can't see the guy min raising utg with 22-77, or A2-A8 - so I'm racing at best.

Of course with stacks and a BB invested Im happy to , but is it too tight to fold this hand against a range of AJs+ and TT+ ???? - Is that a realistic range to assign him?

    Hand 1) i like the shove think if you raise £1k likely same result as shoving in this spot

    2) hmmm i'd prob set him all in tbh he has 5 + a little bit you should be ahead of his shoving range. min-raise may mean strength but cant fold, no point just calling here because what he's got behind.

    Hand 1. Snap shove for me, you can add 25% to your stack which is very good and might also get called by AQ/J etc .

    Hand 2. This is a bit dodgy as it's the same move I'd make with KK/AA wanting to get reraised but of cousre this guy might just be an awful player who does the same with a small pair or bad ace. You'll have 4k if you shove and lose and 7k if you shove and win so it's probably more a shove for me.
