The thing about pushing UTG, is once one person calls you, you're more likely to pick up another caller or two, with pot odds and all. And if noone calls you at first, there's a good chance the blinds will call just to knock you out, assuming they have fairly healthy stacks. T8o, you really need to get that down to 1 player to have a reasonable chance of success. The only time I push with "any two" is in UTG +3 or better.
On the flipside, will you have a better hand than T8o on the BB? Because you basically have to push there. I would say, I would probably have pushed any 2 on one of those hands before that and just prayed.
Just my views.
BTW, great tourney and great writeup!Statistics: Posted by Dumb Snowman — Tue Feb 22, 2005 5:41 pm
