34o push or fold with 4BB (Party $55)

[Meatmaw]

If BB had a larger stack, I'm thinking this would be a push, but given he is short, would it be safe to say that this is a fold (considering he'd likely call any two)?

I agree with folding.

easy fold.

a) it's a fold.

b) i'm having trouble understanding the point of this post. you gave us parameters of "the guy in the bb will call with any two, and you have 34o" then asked if we would push. what do you want besides something like icm run for you? this hand stinks, and you're saying that you're definitely seeing 5 cards with it. why on earth would you have any reason to do anything besides push?

c) if he had more chips, i'd be fairly likely to push on the button, but again, it depends on things i've noticed about him and the other blind. this is your nth hand post of the night and like none of them have had any information about the opponents.

One minor note: In some cases it's best to know the correct thing to do without having any information on your opponents. Meaning what would you do if you were playing against a perfect poker playing robot, or if you were playing against yourself. Once you believe you know the answer to this, then it's best to try to use that information against what you know about your opponent and play accordingly.
