 No-limit hold 'em strategy question..., bruh, 16. Feb 2003 11:54 | ||

| For my question assume you are pretty low in chips relative to the other players at your table in a no-limit hold 'em tourney...or the table my even be short-handed by this point and you are in later position. If there is action before you bet, would it be a good bet to go all-in (either call or raise) with a hand like QQ, JJ, KQs, etc due to the size of the pot (which would give you a lot more breathing room), or would it be wiser to pass on a hand like this assuming that hands like AA, AK, KK may be out due to the early action? | ||

In a no-limit tourney, most situations that are worth asking about have the answer, "it depends." There are a lot of places where I would go all in with JJ or QQ, but all of them are exceptional. For instance, if the raise came from a lucky fish who would make that move with AX or KX, then you're fine doing it. If the raise is coming from a solid player, get out of the hand now Raising isn't the end of the world, but never call there. If he's got a bigger pair then you're screwed and if he's got overcards then it's a coin flip. Why go all-in for a coin flip? You're really hoping that he's got AX or KX or a smaller pair. Well, a solid player probably won't be raising with a small pair and if he's got AX and you have QQ then you're not a ridiculous favourite. Essentially, your all-in raise is to push him off the pot and if you think he's not full of beans you shouldn't do this. It also depends on your stack size. If you're in danger of being eaten by the blinds, then this is a great hand to push all-in with...chances are decent that he's pushing you around with your small stack and now you can punnish him for it. But the short answer is toss the queens into the muck and don't feel bad about doing so. | ||

| You didnt give even close to enough information to make a decision. It all depends on your stack size, the other players stack size, how many players get paid, where you are in the tournament, where the small stacks are relative to the blinds, what the blinds are at that point. Ya da ya da ya da..... | ||

| For the most part, I was assuming you are in a final/one-table situation where you are the low person on the table and would probably have your smaller stack totally eaten by the blinds within the next 1-2 rounds. | ||
