Idiotic.

I think that if it's early in the current level then you don't need to push here but if you're close to the next level then it's a fine play.

Next level was within 1 or 2 hands, if I remember correctly. Glad I did the right thing, then!

I really like this play.

Please do not confuse my opinions with the Truth!

I go on a Bubble/Bubble+1 posting spree for the $11s and $22s once a week. My contribution here simply reflects my current state of pre-enlightenment.

I always post with the hope that someone will come in and smack me down!

If blinds remain at 50-100 I usually fold. If they change before me, its much closer....

I agree with curtains. Generally speaking, I lean towards a fold here most of the time. One off the button adds an extra potential caller, and I think that means a lot to a hand like K7.

How short would your stack have to be to make this a clear push? 4BBs?

[curtains]

4-6 BBs I think it's a clear push. The higher you get the tougher it is....Would depend on how I felt if I had more chips, but it shuold be a close call either way at some point between 700-950, so it won't kill you if you make a mistake.

As it has been stated before if this is early in the level you have about 9 BB it is not time to panic, fold.

If this is later in the level and the blinds are gonna go up the time they come back, it is much closer, but I would still tend toward fold for a few reasons

-There is quiet a few people behind you, and your hand is dominated by lots of pocket pairs, Kings or Aces.
-This is a 10$ Tourney so fold equity isn't great.
-You might as weel keep a tight image until the blinds go up, and steal with more success then.

Just my 2 cents!
