Push with TT UTG, or wait for a better spot?

[mmbapmashida]

Should I have pushed here with TT? I was UTG, with T14000 and the blinds at T3000 T6000.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.

That is actually tough in my book. You know that SB and BB have pot odds with any decent hand.

But this is still a very good hand. You must play, unless it is one away from bubble or something similar.

you're severely short-stacked - and the blinds are about to consume 75% of your stack. i'm not sure what better spot you could find.

What better spot are you hoping to find. You are way past the point of desperation and TT is one of the best hands you can hold.

You're just upset that you lost. I'd give the dealer a blowjob if he showed me TT utg with those chips.

Dont be so results oriented. If villian missed would you have posted this?

Yeah, I'm not sure what I'd do. I have 2.5BB. The blinds are going to hit me next. I'm dealt the 5th best hand in poker. Please tell me you were joking when you said it was a tough spot.

I'd push with MUCH worse than TT in that position. Any pocket pair. Probably any ace depending on how tight the table was. Any two broadway. Hell, depending on how frisky I was feeling I'd push something like 76s.

I love these responses.

Folding this would pretty much be the definition of weak tight

[captainzodiac]

easy push,worst part about this hand is even if you get called and double up,you're still in big trouble,so i may have limped,yes limped,hoping everyone called preflop then push no matter what cards,hoping to build a bigger pot,and get extremly lucky.other then that it didn't matter,you were gone soon unless every second hand was a big pocket pair that held up!

[aggie]

At any point in a tournament if you have less than 12bb's utg, it's pretty much mandatory that you push with 10-10. You had less than 2.5 bb's....
