Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Hero (t1330)
SB (t375)
BB (t1105)
UTG (t5190)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero is all-in


Is this a good any two spot? I figure the short stack wants to fold desperately hoping BB calls, while BB doesn't want to call with the short stack so, well, short.

I'm trying figure out when this "sandwich" falls apart -- when is the short stack so short that he calls with nearly anything?

I can see a push here. If SB calls, BB folds and at worst you'll be about even with the SB. If SB folds, BB has to have a monster to call.

This is a good play.

I like Q7o enough to do this. I wouldn't push any 2 because people call, and I might fold Q7o here because of that. But at a $215, I think this is an any 2 play, and at the $11's, this should be fine.

Q7o is a good enough hand in this spot that I don't think it falls into the 'push any 2' category. Now if you had 74o...

Q7 is fine to push here. I don't find many spots at the 11s where pushing any 2 is more than slightly +EV (usually as a huge stack, or in the small blind against a tight big blind). You're still alive if SB or BB calls and wins, and BB will need atleast 88+,AT+ here to call, even at the 11s.

I like the push, however ppl at the 11s are very passionate and they dont like to be bullied so you have to be more cautious, however even if they totally hate u, I would still push here.
