hero .....

Big stack is a solid player who has his chips from winning some monster showdowns. He hasn't been playing the big stack well - he's limping a bunch and not pressuring anybody. I have run him off my BB twice in the last three orbits and I just survived a desperation push of J9 into AK against another player to stay alive so my FE might be hurt.

Clear push? Thoughts would be appreciated.

That's a definite push. You can win the bigstack's bet plus the blinds. If he's slowplaying a monster to trap you, then good for him. If he's a solid player he's going to have a tough time calling you.

I push here. Far too ahead, too much folding equity, most of the time, to do anything else.

Superhero needs to start washing his underwear before wearing it outside his pants if he wants to continue fighting crime.

Until you got me thinking that every player in the universe limps with monsters UTG 4 handed I had no such questions. Now, go get me a sandwich.

Many gimps do limp UTG with monsters. But I wouldn't really fear it unless:

- Villain has under 10xBB
- There's a shorty in the blinds
