I feel dirty for doing this. Ok push or have I had too much caffeine?

Must be a bad play.

No comments?

The big stacks are on the blinds and you'd expect to get called in an 11 about half the time when pushing on the bubble.

the blinds are huge, but I'd let this one go and hope for a better spot although some will disagree.

nope. fine push IMO. getting dragged through the blinds one more time removes any FE you have left.

With the blinds at this size it's push time...I only wince because its the 11s and you will get called.

This depends heavily on how loose/tight Fletcher is. If he knows 98o is the bottom of your range and plays accordingly, it's still +$EV for you to push, but barely.

This is thus, heavily table dependent b/c he could be too loose here or too tight by alot.

I'd lean towards pushing but would fold here sometimes too.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I pushed with (I think) a tight table image. I hadn't done that much stealing yet so I was hoping I'd just get the blinds. I got called (oops) and sucked out vs AQ. I still don't feel comfortable with the push, even if I did win the hand. Way too close.
