I'll get hit by the blinds exactly when the BB goes to 200. I was against the only 2 players against whom I still have a good amount of FE and even though they are shortstacked, I don't think they were desperate.

My hand isn't total crap, so even if I get called I should have a few outs.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

BB (t760)
UTG (t2115)
MP (t820)
CO (t3190)
Hero (t535)
SB (t580)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t535 (All-In)</font>.

What do you think?

i don't know...i try and fold sometimes to the small stacks. They feel desperate at times and may make a bad call and walk into a good call. you know what I mean? Plus you do have like 3 more free hands to look for a better one.

This is the second best stealing opportunity in the known universe. Given your statement about the BB hitting you on the next level change and your current stack -- 5 BBs -- I think this is a spot where you push 72o. Q9o is a MONSTER for you right now.

I push. Even if one of them is a 'gambo-ler' who will call with A4, a gamble here is worth it to get a stack capable of getting to first place, and this is your best chance.

dude, I feel your pain.

As I said before, do the math, it will answer your question.

Easy push.

You should do like Scuba says and do the math.

Well, I'm not really a math guy. I do have l33t programs though. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

According to eastbay's calc, this is a clear push.
