UB $5 rebuy + add- on. 1100+ entries. Pays 80 spots, 81 left. (1st= $4800, 80th pays about $25)

Blinds 3k- 6k. Antes 600.

Villian is SB with 147240. Aggro calling down short stacks.
Hero is BB with 32830. (in about 62nd place)

Hero is dealt T /images/graemlins/heart.gifT /images/graemlins/spade.gif

All fold to SB, who raises to 23400.

Your move?

No-brainer push. You're in great shape against any two (which, as you seem to indicate, is the SB's raising standard). And you really need to double up if you want to make the significant money.

If the $25 would save the life of 25 small African children that suddenly appeared in front of me at that exact moment, I would fold.

...nah, I'd still call and attempt to save more than those 25 particular small African children on average, then tell them 'that's poker' if I lost.

(Of course, there's nothing wrong with running your timebank down all the way if it's not hand for hand.)

I'd time bank it down and push.

(Can't remember if UB is like Stars, but if it's hand-for-hand and someone who started the hand with a smaller stack busts with you, you're ITM...)

push allin.
do you really need the $25? i hope not. you should be playing for the real money. easiest push in the world.
you could flat call and automatically call/bet any flop, but he will bet it anyway.
