$3r on UB- AQ Blind on Blind Nearing Bubble.

**the alex** · 12-03-2006

$3r on UB about 45 left. 40 pay. Working on some stuff and basically re-evaluating how I fluctuate my aggression because I've been so great at building huge stacks and donking 'em off lately.

How obvious is this push? Easiest play in Hold 'em or can I be more effective postflop?

I've pushed or raised him about 80% of the times he's limped blind on blind. This being a rebuy, we've been together for over 2 hours now. He hasn't raised my BB once, but his M hasn't been so low either. Otherwise, I haven't noticed him at all.

I guess you can make argument for all 3 options here:

You are getting 4-1 to call preflop and have better odds than that to flop an A or Q flops and then fold if it doesn't (If you have any intention of trying to bluff post flop you should definitely push preflop). This saves you risking chips with A high when he is likely to call your shove with any pair.

The min raise may be taken as suspicious and therefore look like JJ+ in which case you should fold. You have enough chips that you don't need to get involved.

Or my personal favourite PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSH.

I pushed.

**tightagressive** · 12-04-2006

i i push here every time with AQ, and I will do this with much worse hands too.
