When you no longer have Fold Equity...

[DMACM]

What would you do given this situation. SNGPT says this is a fold but I consider it a push.

not only do you have fold equity now, but you'd have fold equity against many opponents if you let the blinds go through you.

In this spot I push more often then I should. At a 10+1 it looks like you picked the right stacks to push against, that's why I think you must not look at this as a no FE situation. FE is the reason you're pushing, unless your opponents are spite calling with any two. I look at it in this way: I see two more hands til I'm big blind, after the blinds I'm stuck on the button with 4bb, now you're really in a spot when you no longer have FE, so I like the push. What was the calling range you put into SNGPT and $EV? Even if its slightly -$EV I'm pushing here a lot. Maybe its a leak in my game, but I don't like being stuck with less than 5bb.

fwiw, im autofolding this especially at a lower buyin. the calling ranges are just too wide here imo. do you really want to race with this hand? granted your fe will decrease if you hit the blinds but not decrease enough to justify a hasty push.

I push here not because of the quality of my hand, but because I am first in on the button. And yes, you still have plenty of fold equity against the two blinds.

I fear the response I may get, however, I'm a newbie and am curious what this means.
