Hero...?

I'm in no position to fold into the money. There are 4 ppl left to act behind me. Good push? Bad push?

Reads on the CO, Button, and blinds? If they are all tight and passive, folding to every raise, I don't see why not.

Yes, push is clear here. You have 3.5 times the starting pot (roughly). You are quite pleased to just steal the blinds, but even if you are called you have a hand to play and could double up. You can not sit around and wait for good cards at this point....

nd2000, ok, thats what I thought, but I'm new to MTTs so I thought I would ask.

Jack, almost all pots were raised and then folded. They were pretty tight.

I guess I was suprised becuase villian used his whole timer to call with AQo. But I guess if hes that tight it makes it a better push.
