/images/graemlins/frown.gif call I think, but I'm not happy about it.

Read-dependent.

With no reads, I think I fold and hope I get something in the next few hands.

I haven't run any numbers to determine whether its - or +EV, but you're a 70/30 dog to virtually any PP, behind any Ax, and ahead 55/45 to 60/40 on any other two.

I ran the numbers... he's 55/45 against a random hand, about 50/50 against top 50% and 45/55 against top 30%. Few villains are on a tighter range than that here, so I think this is a call.

This is hard with no background. Has he been pushing regularly (as he should be?) Has he usually be raising rather than pushing? I think this is a call unless he's been tight.

we just got off the bubble this was like the first lap around itm so i would expect him to be looser? he was fairly average on the bubble.

Depends on the opponent. You are only getting 3:2 on the call, and have 4BB left if you fold. Just enough chips to make this a really debatable spot IMO.

Why not push XY next hand?
