I hate these situations...

Down to 5 at the last table of a live, winner-take-all consolation MTT.

I'm down to 5BB -- the short stack or close to it. Folded to me in the SB. I have Q4s. BB has about the same size stack as me. She is loose, but not particularly aggressive about defending her blinds.

Yo, you gotta give some more info her elike where everyone else is at chip-wise..I mean if the leader has like 100xbb its a different story than if he has say 12BB...I dont like just completing here to be honest..and yu cant min raise so... I think all things being equal if she is loose i fold. Anything playable in a full game is auto push as well as A-x K-8 and up...

No monster stacks -- just 3 big ones. I'd say that the others are anywhere from 10BB to around 20BB.

Damn if its winner takes all...I guess you gotta push. Raises the ? of whether this is just an auto-push here anyway?

[slogger]

unless the larger stacks have fewer than 15 BB also, I think this is a near auto-push.

The only other option is a fold, but I think this is terribly weak, and given the payout structure, foolhardy.

No matter what, you cannot let the BB see a flop for less than all of her stack.

Well, sounds like I did the right thing. I pushed. BB says, "well, I'm ready to go home anyway" and calls with 32o.

Unfortunately, I missed the entire board, BB hits a 3 and I go home instead, but I still got my money in with the best hand. Just wanted to make sure it was the right situation.
