This is my second post. I continue to enjoy reading everyone's posts. Now it is my turn to ask a question about a hand. The game is a 25 person game that now has gotten down to the last table. Buy-in $25. Six people left. Blinds at $10/5. Hero (SB) has approx. $80. UTG raises $20. CO calls. Dealt to hero KQo. The other two are somewhat lose and will call a push. UTG will play any A. I subsequently pushed and lost to pocket 8's (CO shows pair of 8's.) Do you push here? The blinds are out of control and I have to double up to have a chance as I am 2nd lowest or lowest at the table.

I need to see stack sizes and payout structure to attempt to give my 2 cents.

UTG has about $150. CO has about $125. Top three paid. $300, $150, $50 respectively. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

What about the other 3 stacks? If they are all big stacks out of range then I would say you made the right move. You need to take a stand and ended up with a coin flip to get back in the game. I think you answered the question yourself:

Just the way I currently see things.
