$22s - pushing against a short stack

[wiggs73]

I'm reviewing some hand histories for another player at the $22s and this hand came up. I'm not sure if I like a push here or not because I'm worried that the big blind will feel pot committed from posting his blind and will call with a wide range. Also, picking up the blind isn't going to help hero that much. I'm pushing a very wide range here, but I'd probably fold 8-high. What are your thoughts?

The converter hates this for some reason, so here it is...

Seat 1 is the button
Total number of players : 5
Seat 1: giller84 (1500)
Seat 2: HERO (500)
Seat 3: SHVAK (535)
Seat 4: cinch50 (2220)
Seat 6: NexWin (3245)
HERO posts small blind (50)
SHVAK posts big blind (100)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to HERO [ 8c, 6d ]
cinch50 folds.
NexWin folds.
giller84 folds.
HERO ???

easy push for me

I also like pushing this. He's one of the only stacks that might not call, so I think his range is smaller than many of the others.

Stealing would move you from t450 to t600. That helps hero a lot. Your fear that BB might feel pot committed is valid, but I still push here most of the time.

I think this is an easy push, unless you have a read on the BB that he will call with a wide range. The 150 will help you, and if you fold, they will help the BB.
