yep.

This is obv read dependent. Not a great spot imo but I think Im pushing here majority of time unless this guy is fairly tight. Push or fold are your only options though...

i havent looked at the results yet... i need information such as


villians play, type of player?

typically in these sitiatuions i would lean towards shoving as well...we have a fairly decent hand, and is probably ahead of alot of hands villian is flat calling with, this is an either raise or fold hand...i like the play, i think its +ev

besides you never want to "call" your chips off you want to make your opponent make the decisions put the pressure on him

I'd like to have reads in this spot but it's pretty obvious you have 0 fold equity even without them. He's calling you here with whatever he raised with EVERY time.

I'd much rather be the first putting chips in but in this case, I can only hope we're flipping.

You have to lay this down.

I know you have close to zero fold equity but... you are the short stack and have 100 already invested in the SB. You can make a pretty strong argument to push here imo even with no reads. Also when you push you are putting pressure on your opp which is always a good thing, hes more likely to make a mistake.

I'm never laying this down. I think AJ is waaay ahead of his range here, this is prime blind stealing time of a sng, and we're getting plently of calls from Ax<J and other shit.

Also, is this too risky with the BB still to act?

I probably do this play too much but in this case, I don't. I don't think many pocket pairs are folding the flop, if they are in any way observant they will see this play a mile off and call with any pair. Also alot of our value for shoving preflop will come from running into a weaker ace, which will often be folding if we shove the flop.

For me preflop, it's shove or fold. I'm really not sure which is the best play but in the heat of the battle I probably shove...and lose.
