Message: [QUOTE="Dorkus Malorkus, post: 419119, member: 6020"] I push preflop without really having to think much about it. I don't really care much about who the blinds are either - if they're tight they usually fold and I take the blinds, fine, or if they're very loose big stacks 99 is ahead of their calling ranges. As a general rule of thumb, it's hardly ever correct to limp from the button first into a pot, and I'd go so far to say as it's never correct with a 10BB stack. Just because on this occasion BB happened to have KK doesn't make folding or calling correct. If you had KK in this position and BB had AA would you still be thinking you should have limped preflop? If the blinds both folded, or the BB called with AK and you won the race would you even be making this topic? Incidentally, raising for half your stack preflop is probably the worst thing you could have done (aside from folding). Never make raises that commit you to the pot. [/QUOTE]
