You can call and shove the flop if an A or K hits. With BB20 I often fold this and just wait for a better spot but I´m just a 2$ grinder.

I often fold this. I see little reason to play guessing games this early.

I think if you have a read that he is a moron then you can shove. I often fold this.

i mean you have no FE with strange raise--- do you feel like gambling almost always 88-jj right there play like that... i think i fold, just too early to call off 1/4 of your stack

How can you say he has not FE when bad villains can raise/fold with 10BB!!!

Anyway, I just flat call in position.

Do you think JJ,QQ stacks off on a K/A flop?

This is a pretty strong line by BB.

Except for a special read (how did he win 250 chips already ?), I fold here but I don't mind pushing if we already saw him doing something stupid.

I think the call is too expensive.

I just push here. You do have some FE and adding in the fact that he could call you with AQ once in a while I think it's the best move. With that said, strange spot with AK and I'm not real confident of my decision.

FWIW I looked him up on sharkscope and he had something like -50% ROI thru 100 games. Flat calling didn't seem right, not enough chips for that. Figured it was either push or fold and I didn't want to get into a coinflip situation this early. With those sharkscope stats I think theres no way I have any fold equity if I push

-50% roi? not an uncomfortable situation anymore and i dont want fold equity. get it in and double up. hes scared raising a mediocre hand like mid pair or weaker aces.
