$10+1, i had pushed a lot in the SB, so my FE was down. Should I push or wait for a better spot?

Blinds are 80/160
Stacks after posting:
UTG (T3500)
Button (T5500)
Hero (T1200)
BB (T3300)

Hero is dealt 87o
Pre-flop: fold, fold, Hero?

Agreed, good push.
edit: just saw the blind sizes, the fact that the BB is only 160 makes this closer, but still a push I think.

The push might be the right move at the time, but with the blinds at thouse limits, I'd atleast wait for FaceX oppose to random low connectors...

87o is a mediocre hand. That's WAY too good to laydown here.

This is the exact opposite of how I think. Hero has been pushing alot. BB is waiting for a "big hand" to call with. Like KQ, KJ, AJ, etc... At this point, after alot of pushing, I'm MORE likely to push with 78 than with FaceX. "FaceX" is another way of saying "dominated hand" while the connector will be live cards against BB's calling range.

Face X holds up better all-in against wide calling ranges, which you know they have. I'd rather have Ax, Kx, Qx than 87o. Still, it's a spot where moving in is very easy to do.

But my point is that since BB has been laying down, maybe his calling range isn't so wide. He is waiting for a PP or two faces. Your 78 runs better against KJ than does K4.

But it's a moot point anyway since we're both pushing here!

(Hell, look at my screen name: I'm clearly a little biased. I just love pushing, pushing, pushing, and then having the BB "snap me off" with KQ and my suited connector takes him out. Dude doesn't even realize that it was only 59-41 when he says something like "Typical PP bullXXXX")
