SB has been playing fairly well and has not been getting out of line. Hero is shortstacked in the BB. UTG limps and SB puts in a big raise. What would you do? Push or fold? Please advise.

Paradise Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

SB (t2615.00)
Hero (t555.00)
UTG (t3180.00)
Button (t3650.00)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. SB posts a blind of t50.
UTG calls t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t400</font>, <font color="#666666">[i]

Hero??

A very easy all in, your stack is 5x the BB 4 handed. It doesnt get much better than 88 here, especially since all the other stacks won't be committing many chips to any pots because you are almost a lock for 4th place unless you make a move.

Honestly Im confused if the BB is 50 or 100.....because you claim that UTG called for 100, but also it's claimed that the Big Blind is 50 above that.

I went back and checked. I guess the converter messed up, BB was t100

If the BB is 100 you must go allin, and hope for a coinflip. On your lucky days they may even have 77.
