What would you do?

You only have 11bb, what would you do in this spot.

You have 7 to act behind, 2 are very loose and 1 you don't have enough on, the remaining 4 are tight!

fold, Hero ??

When I have about 11-10 BB, I change the strategy for fold \ All, play a good hand, because any coll, will eat up the stack.

Here the situation is push / fold. From the position of UTG + 1, I would fold with such cards and stack in 11BB. The approximate range of all-in from early positions with a short stack: AA-99, AK-AQ. With pocket cards A7s you can put all-in from the late positions, if there were no raises.

Shove, Only Have 11BB

For me it is fold, only play BTN,SB,BB-all in

With your reads on players I'd shove with just 11 bbs . Enough to make the tight plays fold without a big hand imo . And maybe get a call from loose player for a flip. I think either way is fine . But gonna have to take shot sometime

Considering that you are not so short stack with 11BB and you are in early position i would fold that. This hand is simply not strong enough to raise from so early position and here you should push or fold with such stack. In my opinion risk is just too high to get all-in with such hand.

i would fold... but depends of how fast the blind raise also

definitely fold to Allin play only strong hands.

Considering the ante of 30 you are basically shorter stacked than the 11 BB mentioned.
If you jam and don't get a call you win 2 and half BB.
If you get a call you're either sometimes way behind or most of the time slightly behind or ahead.
Personally I jam it all day long.

I should of mentioned this was a turbo game.

It was the high school level, I have been running bad this month, probably due to the fact that my parent's have been home for a month as they couldn't go back to Spain. I don't get any peace when they are home, so my poker suffers.


I will show results at the end of this discussion but I am sure that all who know me know how I played this hand


The vote is 50/50 out of 10 votes at the moment.

My guess is you jammed it in.

Most frequently when somebody asks for such analyze of a hand it is because he/she went in and got busted so this is my proposal. Of course i may be wrong.

You may be right, you maybe be wrong, only the result will tell

I wanted to do this poll just to see how many will shove or fold here, I think both decisions are OK here, and with the split decisions I think that answers that.

How is one of my favorite people on CC? I see you drew Woohoo Sue in the Heads-Up challenge (I would love to rail, I am in another bracket).

Anyway, I voted fold. UTG +1 is not a good position for me to play those cards, plus I would be in bad position for the 2 loose players you mentioned.


Good luck at the tables!

when shoving, anyone did the math to get the % if 1, 2 or 3 callers?

I highly suggest investing in a push fold App or find push fold charts on the internet. Nash is your friend in these spots. App says it is a fold just on the edge. It says A5s, A8s+ for suited aces. for 11BB UTG+1 with 9 people and .1antes

Pokertracker says it's a push when I added the opponent's tight or loose image, as there are more tights to loose players. Nash are more referred to STT's or FT, this spot is not a ICM situation.

It'ss close but probably fold. A little too EP for me to shove even though you're short.

Personally I would shove. at 11.16 your shove should be respected. On the other hand, the looser players are the ones with stacks. Thus you would be at the bottom of your push fold range I do believe. to me it would come down to my current image. if Ive been playing hands and getting sucked out on, then I wpould probably fold figuring everyone would feel I was a little tiltish. now if I had sat through 2 rounds and havent played a hand. Im blowing that pot up with a shove.

Can I ask you a question?

Ask away....

You can only push or fold. That position I fold you have one more round of blinds before I would get desperate.
