If it matters, 4- and 5-handed, you've twice come over the top of someone else's preflop raise, and no one looked you up. Otherwise, assume no reads from yourself or on UTG.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG (t2505)
Button (t2555)
SB (t1725)
Hero (t1215)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG raises to t500</font>, 2 folds, Hero ?

Follow-up question (to mgross, and the scores of others who'll tell me to push, the longer I stare at this): What pairs aren't you pushing here?

I don't push this because I think I have zero fold equity, and a stop-and-go would be better anyway.

I fold because I'm not quite desperate yet, and I'm not way ahead nearly often enough.

I'd need TT here to play this hand, 99 and 88 I'd think about it.

At $22s, I think you do have FE here. I think he raised 500 to intimidate, but would fold 700 more. That is significant for him. So, I still think it is a push. ICM might not agree, but I think at $22s this a standard play for a big stack to try to buy chips, but he will not like the possibility of having 1300 chips due to him calling 700 more with a not-so-good hand. So, I still think you have some FE, although not a lot.
