Dont get me wrong If I knew a decent hand was coming I would wait but no one knows this so you will just have to pick a spot and shove with ATC.
You could hang on and be all-in due to blinds and still be playing something like 94o at which point you will just think I should of shoved earlier, at least if the hand held up i would have doubled up to a half decent amount |
The point I'm making, though, is that almost ANY hand is better than 94o. Even with just one more orbit you're massively odds-on to get a better hand than 94o, even if it's still only mediocre. What Dan says, quite rightly, is that ideally you want to shove any time you've got position while you have fold equity, and if that's your plan then it doesn't much matter what your cards are.
But it isn't the question that was being asked in the thread, because Judi's already down to 6bb and 6bb is rarely fold equity in any situation - and certainly not in the situation quoted here, where there are small and big stacks but no middling ones. And she specifically said "
call a raise", even going so far as to put it in bold and underline it to avoid confusion - unlucky, Judi - so fold equity is irrelevant anyway.
Even if there ISN'T a raise and it gets folded round to you, the sb and bb in that situation both have decent reasons to call you whatever they have, and if you get a caller with 94o you're fucked. So it makes more sense to wait and hope to triple- or quadruple-up a smaller stack with a hand that at least has half a chance, than it does to shove with garbage that's likely to get called and lose.
