Hand from a local B&M tournament, 6 tables 66 players.

Final table, 5 remaining (6 paid)

SB, UTG and Button have been very passive at the final table, trying to fold their way up the payscale.
BB has been playing very loosely, calling every allin at the final table thusfar (and winning all of them, hence the chips)

Payouts:
1st $1k
2nd $600
3rd $400
4th $250
5th $140
6th $80

Blinds 1000/2000
SB ($8000)
BB ($48000)
UTG ($7000)
Hero ($12400)
Button ($7500)

Hero is dealt (TsTc)

SB posts 1000, BB posts 2000, UTG folds, Hero...


I have 0 fold equity here - the last 2 allins were called by the BB with 47o and J8o, I have no reason to think he would fold to my allin.

Easy push.

You are short stacked against 3 opponents with TT.

assuming SB and button fold you are 3:1 in the hand and are going to get pot odds. A win is going to put you in strong position relative to the passive players.

If your time is up that's poker. It's a mistake to want everyone to fold here since you will only pick up the blinds and will have to make the same decision soon probably with a less premium hand.

How important is the money to you? At these blind levels you can fold up another possible 2 or maybe 3 spots. Personally I think I push here, if he wants to call with rags or an overcard, that's fine--the blinds are coming my way and I'll be desperate soon.
