I'm pretty new to MTT's, and this was my first final table at the empire 5K freeroll! i was the short stack here, down to 4 players. Would you have made this move, or could I have waited?

I personally think you can find a better spot then to push an all in where you are best a slight favorite. BTW - Congrats on making it to the final table, I fell short at #16. AK couldn't hit for me. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I like the push also...I have no problem on the good side of a flip here myself.

Don't forget the fold equity, he's not calling all in, he's raising all in.

i just fold the sb here myself,55 doesn't play that well here for me,the difference between top stack and bottom is not that significant,so i'm playing my position as well as i can,and hope to get the right breaks at the right time.
you put your money in with a slight edge,so not bad either though.
