*********************

any input appreciated.
This felt like such a luckfest STT and I was glad to get some decent hands in LP to push

I'm not a big fan of the push of a7 but it is right on the border for me. I hate pushing Ax. For that reason I like the A6 fold, the other two look semi standard to me, I would do the same thing.

What a pushbot...it works every time but once!

I dont mind it with the KJ out of position, but the Ace on the button I would standard raise and the A in the SB Id complete.

My M~5. with the A6 on Button.
You raise to 1000-1200?

You shove any flop checked to you?
You fold preflop to a re-raise?

I'm just starting to get more comfortable in the M=7-12 zone.
When this low, not so much.

I think you MTT'ers play more in this zone.

for now, I still prefer a push.


ps: I don't have an Ace in SB. Do you mean complete with QTs ? That was a key hand in STT.

I play these the same. When you raise a few hands in succession and then pick up a hand like A6 you feel like you should raise, but you know someone is going to make a stand soon. I like the fold there - if nothing else it helps your image recover. After raising a few, they might just notice that you didn't raise that time on their blind.
