Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

BB (t1915)
Hero (t925)
MP (t2045)
CO (t410)
Button (t2495)
SB (t210)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.

I had gone all-in 2 times previous to this hand (over the last 15 minutes) with no callers. The most common play at this point is an all-in from the small/mid stacks, most aren't being contested, some are being contested by the big stacks.

A 3x BB raise is about half my stack, a call seems -EV, and a fold seems incorrect as well.

What do you do here UTG?

I don't even remember what calling feels like [AT T150 BLINDS WITH LESS THAN 10BB]:) [EDITED TO MAKE OBVIOUSLY FACETIOUS COMMENT LESS FUNNY]

pooooosh

I must be...

you don't consider the big stack to my left a problem? He was mid stacked for my last 2 pushes which made them easier, but now he can look me up if need be. What about the 5 players yet to act?

You may be correct about the all-in, but I don't see it as a black/white situation.

Oh it's very black/white, K8s would be a tough decision.

What stakes are you playing? I do 11's and I thought this was an ez push too but its got to be a lot less obvious of a push then it would be at a higher stake right? Your fold equity is much lower.

Sure your FE is lower, but not a lot lower. And also KQs is a good hand with pretty good equity against loose calling ranges.

If you aren't going to push this, what are you going to push with 6bb and the blinds about to hit you....
