Party 33.

Obviously short stack is desperate but is 88 enough to come over the top with 2 people to act behind me still?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (7 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

CO (t325)
Hero (t703)
SB (t698)
BB (t1836)
UTG (t2060)
MP1 (t1135)
MP2 (t1243)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif.

Easy push. You don't want the blinds getting in cheaply, and being up against 3+ overcards.

You've only got 3.5 BB yourself, and you're not likely going to get a better opportunity than this.

There aren't so many people left...Its just the blinds. I would isolate with the 88 here.

This almost the same hand I posted a few minutes ago. You can be pretty sure that SS is raising light here, so you're probably a 60%ish favorite over his range of hands. With the overlay you're getting from the very large blinds (which amount to about 40% of your stack), it's definitely worthwile to isolate here.

You'll be trying to steal from the biggest stack on the table if you fold this and try to push next hand, it's up to you to guage how much FE you'll have for the rest of the tourney to decide whether it's worth it to pass this one up. If you think you can steal easily, try to get back in it without a showdown. Under normal circumstances you should not be passing up the edge you have here though.

I agree with those who push, for pretty much the same reasons they gave.

Push - Your FE should actually rise as you are coming over the top of another all-in and that means you will most likely be getting 2-1 on your action with the dead blind money against a range of hands you are a favorite against.

Gotta push, the chance to take someone out is a bonus here.
