Im interested in how you would play this hand.
Top three pays.
Assume no reads.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)
SB (t1185)
BB (t870)
UTG (t5045)
MP (t2425)
Hero (t2110)
Button (t1865)


Preflop: Hero is CO with , .

SB posts 75, BB posts 150, UTG folds, MP folds, Hero ????

I'd be tempted to dump it. No need to risk any chips here just to pick up 75 chips.

I think its okay to raise here and its also okay to fold. If you raise you have to be willing to let go to a shove, which is why I don't mind open folding. I usually like to wait till 100/200 atleast if not 1/2/25 to start stealing. Just my 2 cents.

I fold it at this point....

I raise fo sho. At this point if btn folds where in great shape. The blinds will push with any shitty pp or even Kq, qj etc. I like making it 500 to go.

edit: I dont play for third.

i shove

with no reads, I'd be about 75%/25% for folding/raising, respectively

after three (edit: four) blind increases on a non-turbo sng though, there would no doubt be SOME table dynamic present to assist this decision

nah shoving is the correct play if we raise we leave ourselves with <=1700 chips with blinds going up...only better hands are calling us and lower pocket pairs...shoving here is + ev

i dont care what the stats are for the players...

not only that the blinds will call us with kj < and we win those more times then not...

how is it that better hands than us are calling a raise but worse hands than us are calling a shove?

Meh, I'm starting to think shoving FTW, it's been too long since I've played a turbo
