2 hands from games tonight. Not bothered about the results as in these situations when called you should be in trouble. Just wondering if others ship as often as I would in these spots:
Hand 1:
Cash League Final. 20 left, 6 or 7 paid. Blinds 600/1200.
Hero is dealt 22 UTG playing 13,800.
Table is 6-handed. 2 large stacks and others are similar to ours. Not overly agro or passive table overall.
Standard ship?
Hand 2:
Scalps tournament. Early doors, well off the money. Blinds 150/300.
Hero is dealt AJ in the SB playing ~11k.
Table is loose passive with everyone looking to hit that big hand that will set them up for the tournament. All standard raises are being looked up by ATC so being OOP here is pretty horrible. Anyway, 3 limpers (non having the potential to have AK or a pair over 77) leave the pot at 1350 when it comes around to me.
Is shipping bad?
My thoughts on it are it's bad due to stack being 36BB so loads of play there. But also it's not bad as any raise up to 3k is getting called at least once and if they hit top pair or any pair+draw hand they won't be folding. Probably a bad play but I just wanted to take the dead money and kill the action there and then.
