PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (8 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: ITH Forums)
MP2 ($25.35)
CO ($6.35)
Button ($4.65)
SB ($11.25)
Rad999 ($22.05)
UTG ($5.35)
UTG+1 ($34.55)
MP1 ($4.65)
Preflop: Rad999 is BB with  ,  .
4 folds, CO raises to $0.5, 1 fold, SB raises to $2, What now??????
Final Pot: $1.25
This is going to be one of many threads and i'm going to post in regards to $25NL. I'm going to be posting a hell of a lot.
In a tourney i would probably just call this. But since i'm now playing $25NL alot, i'm going to play more conservative. Because in the past i feel like i've played too aggressive.
So what's your move here? No reads. 5 minues in. |

| Against two shortstacks this is an easy push IMO. At this limit you will often be called by hands you dominate, and the only hands you really don't want to see are AA and KK. |

The two other stacks are short so it looks like a push or fold situation. Since the players are late I'm going to push all-in here. I think their ranges should be wide enough here and we may fold a lot of better hands.

I agree - I bet big. I don't necessarily push pre-flop, but I raise to $7.00 or so (which commits me given these stacks), and the rest gets in regardless of the flop. |

I agree. This is probably a fold though with full stacks. |

Bet big or push preflop.
Then, get off this table ASAP and find a better one that has more full-sized stacks...unless the 2 other fullstacks here are complete donks... |

| Against these opponents I'd shove here. The way this is shaping up all of CO's chips are going in. I think a big reraise could shake SB loose and isolate against a shorty. Even if you don't the cost of this is likely what you'd get in anyway and you get to see all 5 cards. |
