Easy Jacks Push, Right?

Still early in the $10r.

The minraiser opens the pot with anything remotely playable with a minraise, but the pusher hasn't played any hands yet of note. Is this a standard shove. I stuck it in, yeah, but I definitely hesitated.

Stars yes? With 200/400 blinds, we are just into the post-rebuy period.

Min-rasier = non-existent. Button worries me beyond belief. I haven't played any rebuys beyond the $3, but I can't imagine $10 is any order of magnitude better than the $3 players.

How did the button play the rebuy? Was he gambling appropriately, or was he playing it as a freeze out? I notice a lot of players have difficulty separating the rebuy period from the actual poker side of the game, esp this early.

I think I fold this sometimes, but I call more often then not. JJ is pretty far ahead of a standard range. I think I am more afraid of a $1,600 raise than a push in this spot.

Final answer, push (with possible regrets).

As an aside, PxF hand animator kicks ass, but is there any way to automatically freeze the action before you make the call?

I tried to be impartial, but the HH gave me villains hand before I was ready for it.

Yeah. It's something in the coding. I posted it there, but before I could post it here, they moved me and I didn't wanna look for the HH to put it through a converter 'cause I was busy.

I think I push here. The button has realised the same as you, the min raiser is raising with marginal hands and can probably be taken off it by a substantial re raise. This, I think, makes his range quite wide. Also, if he hasn't played a hand in a while, he could just be using this image to help him get away with this.

The fact that he hasn't played a hand in a while wouldn't bother me anyway because it's a rebuy. He may have just been card dead and is fed up of not having a chance to gamble and is looking down at a small pp or just a couple of suited broadway cards.

I'm with wastrel in that I prefer shoving over an all in than a smaller re raise

I shove this, well played. Button will probably min re-raise with AA, KK, I think we're ahead of his range.

Standard play. Such an overpush why would anyone give him credit?

I'd say, at the $10 level anyway, this will never be AA/KK/QQ. If he was playing really LAGgy and doing it often (during the rebuy), then I could maybe lay it down here after the rebuy period. He'd be trying to get his image to pay off.

I don't think this is an obv push. It seems so on the surface, but this early, I think an argument can be made not to push.
