per flop; I pick up 97os my favorite 😍 hand so I min raise both the blinds call so now I only have 4bb left.

Flop: Q 6 9 flop one ☝️ spade so the sb checks and the bb bets enough to put me all in. I knew I was behind but with back doors 🚪 I can’t fold can I.

So what would you do ?? And was I pot committed?? Thank you for your comments .

You had only 6BB....it was just an automatic shove spot with suited cards.

BB may have folded.

 

[KrazyKoo]

You are never pot commited. I would fold hard and then wait for AA or maybe go all in any A once you are like 1 BB

 

[spunka]

if it is your favorit hand you should shove, with 6BB it is push / fold play

 

[dallam]

Agree on the fact that its not a good view to min-bet this hand, only push or fold on your side under 10bbs definitely. However I would actually fold 97s from that position.

 

[puzzlefish]

I wouldn't have played 97s. Yes, very short stacked at this point, but surely there would be a better spot to get it in yet.

With 6BB left and the big stack in the BB, I think I would have folded preflop. That short you dont have much fold equity. Even pocket 2's here maybe a fold as agai your to short to probally get the big stack to fold here if you 50/50 at best.

As played on the flop I think the push was OK. You are not happy but have most likely 5 outs to beat he Queen if they have it.

As short stacked as you were, I don't understand your raise preflop with that hand. A shove would've been a more appropriate decision, but a fold even better. After the flop, you had to go for it.

With such a big stack, with such big blinds, in such a situation, with this card, you can easily go all-in pre-flop in the hope that you will be able to take the pot without showing, but if someone calls with Ax or broadway cards, maybe with a split pair, there is nothing to think about, the hand goes all the way and hopefully we can win with two live cards on the river ...

After some thoughts 💭 I see that a shove was the move thank you 🙏.

As others have said, we should not have a min-raising range with 6BB, unless maybe if we want to get tricky with pocket aces, and our opponents wont pick up on this. But barring that its a pure push-fold situation. So the answer is, that the moment you decided to not fold, you were committed to the pot, and you should have moved all-in. And even a chip leader will normally not call a 6BB jam with something as bad as Q4o, so playing your hand correctly might well have changed the outcome, depending on what BTN had.

 

[rastapapolos]

When you open the pot with a raise and that raise represent 1/3 of your stack it's a shove preflop.
When you have less than 10 BB you have to push/fold preflop.
IMO 97s is the bottom of your shoving range in this spot.
