Party 55.

Is this a clear push?

I pushed QJs because after I post my blinds I will not have any folding equity. Also, if I am called, I am not likely to be dominated.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

BB (t1990)
UTG (t1785)
Hero (t990)
CO (t2135)
Button (t1770)
SB (t1330)

Preflop: Hero is MP with J/images/graemlins/club.gif, Q/images/graemlins/club.gif.
1 fold, Hero raises to t990 (All-In), 2 folds, SB raises to t1330 (All-In), 1 fold.

Flop: (t2620) 8/images/graemlins/club.gif, 9/images/graemlins/club.gif, 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif (2 players, 2 all-in)

Turn: (t2620) 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif (2 players, 2 all-in)

River: (t2620) A/images/graemlins/spade.gif (2 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: t2620

Yes definitely, you cannot let yourself go down to two big blinds here I don't think. Also, even if the BB is the sort of player who is likely to call you with most holdings here, you at least figure to be ahead of him most of the time.

It's an easy push yes. You should start posting the times that you actually fold in these situations. You seem to be pushing at all the correct moments but maybe you are folding some close ones that should be pushed?

Yes, I am a tight ass...I do fold on borderline decisions.
I just can't believe it how other people push and everybody folds, but when I do it I get called so often.
Maybe its the female character I use...Maybe players like to punish the tightass...or maybe they want to punish themselves...who knows?
