ITM 77 vs. Big Stack

[AliasMrJones]

$55 Party SnG, down to 3. I don't recall this player being exessively tight or aggressive. Stacks:

AliasMrJones (button) 2,334
SB 6,371
BB 1,295

Blinds are 100/200

AliasMrJones is dealt 7/images/graemlins/club.gif7/images/graemlins/spade.gif

AliasMrJones raises to 550. SB raises all-in (6,371), BB folds.

i think this is a call, i will usually open push here though.

Call. I think openpushing is a bit drastic but since you're calling a push anyways, you might as well be the one pushing.

[Karak567]

Slightly over 10x BB? I open push.

You gotta call this.

People like me often try to bully people who are playing to "sneak into" 2nd place. Bad idea.

[chisness]

i agree, i think there's a high likelihood he's got a card 7 or under (maybe even 2) or a pair 66 or lower

[microbet]

77 is an excellent hand for pushing eventhough you have a bit more than 10BBs.

I think it is too likely that you are ahead to fold here.

I thought about open-pushing, but thought I had a few too many chips for that. In hindsight that was probably the best play. I folded. I thought I was probably either a coinflip or higher pocket pair. I should have called.
