FT of an £11 BH. That lovely scenario of AA on the button, I'm playing around 30k so 12bb.

I'm pretty sure SB is gonna go for a spin, and BB likes to try and win head prizes, shall we say ;) So I know BB is at least calling if SB goes all in.

How much should I raise the button? A min raise means its an under raise if the BB just calls a SB shove and thus we no option but to take a flop, with the pot about 16k and me having 25k ish behind.

Is it more advantageous, with the BB being quite well stacked, to open raise enough (6k) to put the SB all in, the inevitable call from the BB and then I have the chance to re-open the betting.....fwiw I'm not concerned about playing face up vs BB as it's just way over his head, so could literally just click it back pre and have an even more favourable SPR.

Thoughts?

TIA.

Edit, I'm talking rubbish as per so replace the BIB with ''should I limp to be able to reopen the betting''

    If we are sure they are jamming can we not limp?

    ^ Worked wonders in similar scenarios with players on 8bb and the BB ends up getting potstuck <3

    uh..... I'm confused how you can re-open the betting there? :) If SB can only call/or underaise and BB only calls, then you realise you don't get the option to re-open the betting?

    I would limp because then we can re-open the betting + BB might do our job for us anyway and try and isolate SB.

    Ha yeah I've got myself in a muddle!

    Option 1) limp to get SB all in and called in the BB, thus leaving all options open for me.

    Option 2) standard raise which means we go 3 way to a flop and super under repped.

    Thanks for pointing this out Ivan, wasn't concentrating when I posted! ;)

    If option 1, click it back? Jam? Call?.....

    Whatever you do, you can't really go wrong! Being a FT, will mr bounty chaser still be as keen on getting a bounty? I mean I know people go crazy early on but that's when there's no ICM consideration... on FT, placing is obviously more important than bounties unless the person you are knocking out has a ridiculously high head prize and it's more than a pay jump.

    Seems each way you play it will be similar, if not identical in ev. Would be more interesting if you had a few more BB (like 25bb) but it's just going to be so easy to get stacks in post w/e way you play it if BB likes his hand enough.
