Wingman008 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Yes.According to the pushbot chart located in some thread here in tourny strat, it's profitable to shove AA when you have an M of less than 10.However, it also is with when people all have greater stacks than yours.But I still say yes.

Pushing AA is going to be "profitable" under all but the most extreme circumstances.I think pushing here is borderline unless hero has already and recently pushed other hands and someone may be getting tired of it. I would raise to 1500, driving out the really speculative hands and offering attractive odds to MP1 to play along. Link to post Share on other sites
jmbreslin 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I was going to say more-or-less the same thing as cop. The question here isn't whether you can push AA profitably but whether a smaller raise is actually better for maximizing your profits. You don't want to raise so big that you scare everyone off with AA in this situation.I think your push is just a bit too much here. You're not desperate enough that you'd be pushing with a wide range and you have enough chips that you can make a more standard raise without it looking too suspicious. Ideally you want to get HU against MP1 and have him put some more chips in the pot. I like cop's idea of raising to 1500 here. Link to post Share on other sites
