I am going to make a standard form for posting questions, feel free to use it for responses, or not, any input appreciated of course


------------------
HAND #1

Important Considerations:
1.) My hand strength
2.) A limper before me
3.) The big blind in relation to my stack
Why are they important?:
1.) I have a very strong hand for this point in the tournament
2.) Overlay money in the pot if I decide to shove
3.) I am nearing the 10bb mark
As a result, I think I should:
Shove, to take the blinds and the limper's dead money, without having to see a flop.

HAND #2

Important Considerations:
1.) My hand strength
2.) The big blind in relation to my stack
3.) My stack in relation to BB stack
Why are they important?:
1.) I have a very strong hand for this point in the tournament
2.) I am nearing 10bb
3.) I have a strong hand but I would rather not see a flop with an overcard
As a result, I think I should:
Shove, to take the blinds and not have to see a flop against a bigger stack who may be willing to splash around a bit.

I like a shove in both hands.

so again fuck off

#1: Definitely shove. With the limper you can shove ~ 16BB (you know to divide the pot by 1.5 to get the effective BB?). I’d push down to about 77/88+ AT/AJ+.

#2: Standard 2.5-3x raise seems best here. You WANT someone to repush on you w/ a hand this strong. Shoving isn’t bad though.
