Close push ITM

[Costanza]

I had a hard time deciding whether or not to pull the trigger here. Villian was nearly eliminated about 6 hands before this when he was shortstacked and cracked my AA push with 66.

I already ran it through SnG Power Tools -- will post these results later if anyone's interested.

Fold, but I don't know how to play.

Does the power tools take into account the fact that BB will almost certianly call?

Taking that into account I fold this and only push here with something I would want to be called by with a random hand.

i fold even if SNGPT says push, to save your table image

I think it's extremely unlikely that you get a fold from BB here (if not, that needs to be mentioned). This leaves you putting in 760 to win 1160, which seems like it's not so good given that you're holding 75o. Also, you're not the big stack; I don't think winning these chips helps you as much here as losing chips hurts you. I fold this.

If you put him on a range of any 2 cards the EV's for pushing and folding are almost exactly the same.
