Is the right move on the button, or should I wait for a better hand? I know it was crap, but I didn't feel it would matter if I didn't raise now. He had QQ unfortunately

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

BB (t1796)
UTG (t3196)
MP (t703)
Hero (t613)
SB (t1692)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero Bets All in(613), BB calls t413.

Its an easy allin in my opinion. You are shortstacked with a semi decent hand, and there is a chance your opponents will both fold.

it's kinda close to me

there is a chance that he might fold, but there is going to be 900+ in the pot and he has to call 400ish..which someone can do with a pretty wide range of hands.

You have 2 free hands coming, it can go either way- there is no really right answer here, but i'd push it.

Yeah they fold in these situations a lot though.....over 50% in my opinion.

Easy all-in. I think I might push any two in this spot, since you are going against the two medium stacks. They will only call if they have a decent hand. The odds are that they don't.

The BB does worry me, because he would have to call your 413 raise to win a pot of 713 (I think my math is right there). But you need to push to stay alive, and you have a lot going for you here (position, stack sizes, folds from the big and small stacks). I would push any two.

IMO this isnt even close. Its a push. If I am wrong , perhaps this is what is wrong with my own game.

Who cares if you get called. You double up or go home.

In this situation, I am thrilled to see the King. I'm not hesitating to push. I'm not second-guessing myself if I lose.

Now if I pushed 23o in this position and lost, I would probably second-guess myself. But I really think I would push any two. Interested in what others might think.
