Was this dumb?

UKOPS7. I'd been all-in about once per orbit last three orbits. I swithered and dithered but thought a small raise would look suspicious due to previous all-ins. Paradoxically I thought an all-in would disguise my hand strength. Am I stoopid?

I think like that quite often too, but I think a raise to 750 here would be best to gain some chips

I suppose it depends on your experience with AA to be honest! I hate the fcekers! Personally, I think you done the right thing and got a few chips! Me, I woulda been called and lost to a FH or FD! ;-(

Agree with poker fail 750 as only someone waking up with a hand could call your all in, you may then have been 3 bet due to your previous plays and if they had a hand the chips are in and you have your customer!

if you have been shoving lots Its great

Yeah, your stack is a shove/fold stack. If you min raise, good players will probably work out the strength of your hand. Its a funny one.

Another factor is your opponents stack sizes. Your more likely to get a loose call from a big stack than a table full of stacks similar to yours and probably up to 30xBB stacks.

I always feel i miss value when they all fold though! Its one of the plays in poker where you never know whether you made the best move. Sod's law dictates that if you shove, they all fold and if you call or min raise, they suck out on you and hit 2 pair. lol.

prefer a 2. something raise, you want action so...

But I get what your saying, fine if you have been shoving previously.

I make it like 700, try and get loose call from blinds and pray they flop a pair.

angie6108

i would min raise it and hopefully some 1 thinks its a steal or has a good hand 2 come over the top 

Batkin88

if you have been shoving like you said the shove is best here as it looks weaker than a raise, also anyone callings knows full well your shoving anyflop so your getting called alot of drawing hands pre giving them a cheap flop isnt a good idea. I would prefer the limp shove to reraise pre than to raise pre here although i think hoving pre is the best option

GREGHOGG

limping is the worst option imo Batkin

unless u are absoultey certain that the blinds will squeeze.

I prefer just to shove my entire range, i dont think your stupid at all Bandini.

liamboi11

think u played it fine if your shovin quite a bit with any 2 you should do it with ur big hands to because any1 payin attention will smell a rat if u min raise but just ul no1 had anyfin to call m8

EvilPingu

I don't have a problem with your all in there, and I'd do the same. If you get called, brilliant, if not, you've still picked up 450 chips.
