edit: my apologies to the first 3 posters as I had to reorganize this post

Fold the first and third hands. You posted the fist hand twice fwiw.

I probably push the second hand although its a marginal play. Statistically you won't see a better hand in the BB and since blinds are going up next hand that makes me push.

i'd fold them all -- i think you have to be a bit more desperate than you are here

The second is the best.

All three are sometimes pushes for me, depending on how likely I think I am to be called and how hard it has been to get first into a pot. I think the second is one I'm somewhat likely to make and the first and third are somewhat unlikely, but again, depending on the context.

I like that, although you are in early position, there is no desperate stack acting after you.

I fold 1, 3, &amp; 4.

I push 2 in a flash. IMO, not pushing 2 is an enormous mistake.

not pushing 2 is not an enormous mistake -- i really don't think it matters either way

hmm, I'm glad I posted these since we don't seem to be getting much of a consensus. I'm surprised that no one has said push #4 yet (newly added), you guys are that confident sucking down a BB for 1/4 of your stack and losing most of your FE unless you get delt a premium hand?

I'm calling/pushing with much less than a premium hand. My hand still should be better than 46s though.

I agree with Bigwig entirely. Definitely push hand 2, the rest are probably folds.

I fold 1, 3 and 4 and push 2. I think that pushing 4 would be really bad. IMO, 3 is close IF the blinds are playing tight.

A lot of people have said "fold these call those", but we really could use some elaboration.

1 and 3 look like clear folds to me. Field is just too big, and your hand is random trash. If these are a push then you should have just pushed any 2 a hand or two ago.

4 I would push because youre only 5 way, you have 4 bbs, and the blinds do NOT want to call you. If the big stack were in the blinds it would be different. You have a legitimate chance to take down these blinds, and 64s runs fairly well vs calling hands.

2 is close. Your hand is pretty good, but 7 way and a likely bb caller? Youre just so likely to be called by one of the 1500+ stacks that I flag it a fold. If you had 4 bbs i would push.

I probably fold all 4 but it greatly depends on the table conditions. 2 is the closest to a push and if you had a bit less chips or the blinds were already 150 I would definitely go.
