wait more or push

[derdo]

Nowadays I fall into more and more 7-8 handed tables on level 5 and 6 and I think I am pushing a little bit impatiently.

In the hand below I pushed from UTG with A8s. I consider it as a borderline push. I wouldn't do it if my hand was little bit worse or unsuited. Discuss...

Yeah, definitely borderline, I think.

Meh, with so many players behind, and 5x BB... Crap.

Once the blinds pass you have no FE anymore, so you're going to have to show down to win.

You can get it in now and race for 1500, or you can get it in after the blinds pass and race for 1000. I'm getting it in now, unless I have a reason to believe someone will fold to one of my shortstack pushes later.

I'd push this.
