$11 SNG at PartyPoker. Two more hands, after this hand, at this blind level before the blinds increase to 150/300. Button had been playing loose. About two hands earlier, he put 1/2 of his T1400 stack in the middle, after a limp, holding J9s, to call an all-in from a short stack. Do I wait or push?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

CO (t610)
Button (t2230)
Hero (t973)
BB (t1597)
UTG (t940)
MP (t1650)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.

If the button has been miniraising constantly, then yes, push here.

Otherwise, if he's been tight I'm thinking the button has either a pocket pair or Ax.

I am more afraid of being blinded out than I am of getting into a coin flip. Push this.

You should fold here. I would rather push first in with 32o than call a raise with KJo. Pushing now has a very low chance of winning the pot without a flop.

Two very grim choices. Poker is hell.

easy fold, you don't have enough chips to make the button fold unless he is incompetant and its likely you're behind to Ax. folding and pushing next hand is a much better investment, since its likely you can take down 300 without a fight

Fold. You have plenty of time to make a move as the aggressor at these blinds, IMO.

If he puts his stack in with J9 then I want my last horrah to be against him. If I bust here I fire up another. If I win, I am chip leader with the blinds getting high. My favorite place to be...
