If stacks are short, don't raise into them w stuff you aren't going to be wanting to call their shoves with.. because most likely you'll be priced in (obv. depends on stack sizes & player reads).I stole a bunch of blinds from the micro-stacks last night. a few times, they would push allin, and i would call, getting 3-1 or better on my money. Is this a good play? are there hands that I should not call the allin with?
Would it honestly even ever matter? Unless the ss is the worst POS player EVER, they're going to believe that HERO is calling them 100% of the time in this spot. (HERO folding here would be a sin.. even w 72o)I gotta wonder if he's on to you versus actually having a hand. .
Totally depends on how Hero plays. If he is passive enough to fold on it I could shove back on him with ATC (and I have and and seen them fold). You're right - it shouldn't matter and he should call - but that doesn't always happen. That's why the question is valid. Now of course on the other hand a very valid answer would be, "It doesn't matter"Would it honestly even ever matter? Unless the ss is the worst POS player EVER, they're going to believe that HERO is calling them 100% of the time in this spot. (HERO folding here would be a sin.. even w 72o)
passive enough to fold don't usually try to steal blinds do they ? I always see donks with crap trying to steal blinds from very SS players and of course the SS shoves having no other choice . I just lol . but it does screw me and the other players half the time cause they just double them up . can you really get 3 to 1 stealing blinds ?
just my opinion
yes and no , but I wasn't trying to say you are a donk . blind stealing is an important part of the game , but in my opinion trying to steal with crap when the blinds are a large part of someones stack is a donk move . many times as a donk who lets his stack get to low before shoving , people have tried to steal my blinds and forced me to call with any two cards and only an idiot would fold at that point . as I said I have seen many try it when we are on the bubble and they just double the ss up and sometimes they come back and take a spot in the money . it's just my opinion right or wrongJust for clarification, you aren't saying that blind stealing is a donk move are you? the two ss in my game had proven that they would lay down to minor raises in the blinds even if the blind was 1/3 of their stack.
