Normally I don’t like pushing a hand like K2o here with 3 players left to act behind me, but I was the shorty and going to be in the bb in 2 hands. The blinds were going up to 100/200 in 3 hands (when I would be in the sb). The player to my left pushed and stole my bb this orbit. I obviously need to make a move within the next few hands.
I’m trying to determine if pushing k2o here is the optimal play, or if it would be better to wait until I’m in the sb, and hope the 3 players in front of me cooperate and fold so I can attack the bb with a push (I’d be pushing 495 and the sb would have to call 295 to win 795 in this scenario – I wouldn’t have very much folding equity). I think the biggest argument for pushing K2o here is that when I do take down the blinds without a fight, I will have increased my folding equity if I’m then able to execute a blind steal from the sb in 3 hands. What does everyone think?

Dealt to HERO [ K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif ]
Junker29 folds.
HERO raises (695) to 695
HERO is all-In.
p.s. The more I think about it, I now think I should be pushing any 2 cards here.
