Whoops. Tiny stack out. No, don't push.

I should really start looking at stack sizes before I post. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

no.

You have UTG with 1.1 bbs and your stack isn't enough to cripple either of the stacks in the blinds. They can try and knock you out with a marginal hand and still be 90+% to make the money.

Both the SB and BB could easily call you, lose, and still get ITM. So not a good push.

edit for clarification: my "hm i dunno is sarcastic, not "i dunno." for real answers, see the second sentence of my post and nick's post.

You can't take advantage of a microstack unless you are invulnerable to being eliminated. That being said, if all stacks are equal... I push. I would never push this though, especially in an 11 or 22 which I assume you are playing.
