Let's assume for simplicity's sake that the SB always folds. The BB has to call 620 to win 1220, or is getting 2:1 on the call. If the BB puts you on the top 40% of hands, then he should call with the top 85% of hands. Now remember that the SB folded, too.

I think you get called here basically all the time. I would rather take my chances next hand with a random two cards, with which I go allin unless both of the other two players go allin in front of me.

But...won't I be even more likely to be called then? It's not like it's extremely likely that my next hand will be better than my current one.

C'mon, you have 94o. 94o is 141/169; you will get a better hand next hand about 7/8 of the time. <font color="pink"> </font>

The BB will probably call you due to pot odds. This is not really a bluff. I would fold 94o, but with an average hand I would push, not primarily as a bluff, but because the blinds are so big you have to fight for them.
