(hand-K8)(Postion-UTG+2) BB(10ish)

[Louie]

Blinds were coming, I figured K8 would probably be the best hand before I had to go through the blinds. Is it better to shove here like I did or wait and go through the blinds?

I fold this. I don't think K8o is strong enough to get through that many.

too weak here Louie imo. Also bear in mind there are three pretty short stacks behind who will likely be shoving light withiin the next orbit so if u wake up with something half decent in your own BB you might double up there

Thanks to Sickbay in Romania for providing a handy excel speadsheet sort of thing. I'll post here on the syndicate.

It really helped me last night understand what my EV was and when I could push knowing I was making the right play. Obviously if you have a "read" what type of calling range the villian has - that helps in the spread sheet.

It is attached here - and found on the Syndicate site.
