I was in a play money sitngo, and part 1:
Player 1: 2000
player 2: 2093
player 3: 860
Me: 4082
Blinds: Player 1 calls (he's a very tight player), and 2 and 3 fold. I decide to push all in with A10 off and try to steal the blinds (blinds are at 200/400.) Is this a good move? or bad move? and why? I put him on maybe KQ or QJ or something because he just called, instead of raising like he did sometimes with strong hands (but then again, he also bluffed before when he raised 4xBB). This was just a call though in early position.
Scenario 2:
Against Player 2: He has 4.173k, I have 4.7k ish, and we are the final two.
I get A3 rag suited (are rags always suited?). Anyways, I decide after he just calls a 600 blind to push all in. He's also somewhat tight (most of the players I faced were tight; the aggressive ones got out early). I was thinking he would probably fold to this big all-in, and Ace high is okay. Was this also a very questionable move? It was the first hand immediately following the elimination of the 3rd place finisher.
Pre-flop all-ins are fun to me, but I may be pushing it?
Is there another strategy that I could employ, without going all-in, but still bluffing people out? I seem to be going all-in too much.
