So he calls all in with having a 4... only on PS.

Push preflop approximately %100 of the time here.

With a 7500 stack, having to call only ~500 chips into a 1200 chip pot and having the chance to bust someone, I make the very same call every time.

I agree..............the guy had a pair heads up w/ not much to call for a chance of eliminating some1 & a ton of chips to do it. I play the same way.

what this donk said !

 

[blankoblanco]

Just to reiterate: pleeease push pre-flop. I can't even explain how bad limping for half of your stack is. I really can't.

 

[mrsnake3695]

Just to pile on. What they said. Pushing preflop is the ONLY option here.

His call was pretty much mandatory considering everything.

Thanks for the tips for a nooB! How well did i play my final hand on this table..

I'm going to let someone else say it, but I know what they are going to say.

 

[Dorkus Malorkus]

#1 - your play is worse than villain's. please shove preflop.

#2 - your play is worse than villain's. please raise/shove preflop and call river as played.

Once blinds hit 50/100 in a donk n go you should essentially never be limping (with a few rare exceptions like for example with a big stack and ~T9s on the button when 5 people have limped).

 

[jayneseo]

What are you talking about Chris? This is obviously Pokerstars fault.

 

[joosebuck]

Table '45796715 1' 9-max Seat #1 is the button
Seat 1: premierplayr (3390 in chips)

button with ace 3 handed = raise.

 

[joosebuck]

let me rephrase that.

button=raise

 

[skoldpadda]

With all the possibilities on the river, you should have just called his bet, rather than min-raising. Alternatively, you could have pushed the turn, but that's a rather donk play.

From these 2 hands, it seems to me that you need to play a bit more aggressively. Check/calling is losing poker. Raise it up and make the other player feel the heat!

 

[Debi]

even debi pushes pre-flop with these 2 hands.

nuff said lol

 

[premierplayer]

Thanks guys for the tips. It seems as if I need to play more aggressive.
