Go onto You Tube and watch players that are looking at all the different options. Personally, i prefer to be aggressive, but it depends on who is at my table and how much i am playing for. If it is for low stakes or a S&G i would shove (unless a tight player had already raised) If you would call a re raise, then you might as well go All-In yourself, and put the pressure on other players. Some players do not want to go All-in, because they then do not have any power or want to try and bluff, but usually i do not give them that option. Loose players will call with Ace-rag, KQ, or low pairs and i would take my chance of doubling up if i had AJ, so i would usually Shove. I colour code other players and yellow, means they are TIGHT and orange LOOSE, and other colours mean they are WEAK, FISHY, or OPINIONATED. Weak players would LIMP with AJ and hope to hit before raising, but i would be asking questions before they saw a flop.

I knew i was going to flop the flush because thewaddy told me to get it in when i was behind, sorry you were on the receiving end of my enhanced deck expertise......

by the way the correct answer was minraise

Doubleme

so in terms of GTO the answer is min raise if we assume that effective stacks are 15bb.

that been said this will depend on the structure and the players I am playing.

for example if this is a don/sat structure and I am near certain of going through but shoving and been called could put me out open folding this could make sense.

the jist of it is that ICM and tourney structure can affect a lot of things. eg if I am in a bounty hunter and bb had 3 blinds small blind has 15 blinds and I have 15 blinds I am outright shoving this because I want to iso to take the bounty myself.

if other players are weird as in different response to what a random member of the population would do this too could affect my action.

in most cases though unless there is something in the player dynamics or structure I would just min raise.

Hi Spikey.

Really, we needed more info.

Was it cash, MTT, DYM etc, are there Bounties?

If MTT or DYM, how many left, are we in the money etc.

And whatever format, based on what we've seen, how wide do the SB & BB call, & how deep are they compared to us?

The more info, the better.

Stick up more of these questions Spikey, they are fun, & good for Forum interaction.
