<font color="666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t50, MP1 calls t50, MP2 calls t50, CO calls t50, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t680 (All-In)</font>, UTG+1 calls t440 (All-In), MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO folds, SB folds.

A push here must be correct given my stack size and the amount of money in the pot? If someone calls, good. If not, well, I increaed my stack size with almost 50 %.

Yes, I think so. I think there's a grey area where you might raise it to 200-250 or something, then you can get out if an ace comes, but I think it's reasonable to push here. One of the limpers will pay you off or beat you.

I have to disagree here. I don't think that you can raise to 200-250 and then fold if an ace hits the board. Are you going to check/fold to a bet in this situation?

I see this as a clear push here. I would be happy either with a call or a fold.

All IMO.

Please take it easy with me as this is my first post /images/graemlins/smile.gif
