The result of this hand isn't important but I have been wondering about how correct/incorrect this play was. I recently read a post by Sklansky where he talks about pushing with QJ from UTG and why it is correct to do so. Do I have very little folding equity from the blinds due to their stack size and commitment to the pot already? I pushed thinking the big blind would fold based on his situation relative to the small stack but obviously I figured wrong. Would you fold here and try to limp into the money knowing the small stack is all in within the next three hands or do you feel a move is necessary because I will be facing the blinds in the next two hands and would have to put in over 1/2 my stack then? Any thoughts appreciated.
Bison converter didn't like this hand so sorry.
