    I'm interested to see how others would play this hand. I'm not happy with how I played it.

    180k chips in play
    8 players remain, 5 get paid.
    I have 14k
    blinds 1500 - 3000


    You are on SB and hold Js10c. Folded around to you. BB is a solid player and has about 30k. I called the BB.... With a short stack I should either push or fold.. Anyway,

    He makes it 6k in total (another 3k to go)

    I called...

    Flop is Ks4s3s..

    Now what do you do?

    So you have 8k left, 12k in the middle, BB has 24k left. Definitely a push here. If you check the BB will/should autobet and you pretty much have to call imo.
    At least if you push now you have a tiny tiny bit of folding equity. A push preflop would have been better.

    What are the other stacks at the table? is there a case for folding preflop or check-folding the flop? You've just payed the SB and BB so a player or two might get knocked out before you have to post again letting you move up the money.

    You definitely have to push here Niall, but you should have done so preflop or folded. What happened anyway?

    hey david,

    I thought about it for about a minute and then pushed all in. he thought for a while and called with Ah4d. I am a slight favourite against this hand, (52/48) but i did not improve...

    I am annoyed how i managed to get into this situation.. I think I should have folded pre-flop and waited for a better time to gamble...

    I think it was an autopush preflop, as it stands you paid about 10% of your stack to play a hand out of position.

    If the BB is as solid as you say, an all in bet preflop from you forces him to have a big hand and in the worst case lets you see all 5 cards without a positional disadvantage through the hand.

    But then again I just like saying 'all in'.

    I think the push or the fold preflop would have been solid enough plays but the limp was always asking for trouble, but I am a bit of a bugger for trying to limp in the small blind myself so I know the feeling.
