SB is somewhat passive, but BB is has been pretty good, not a pushover when in BB.

NL Texas Hold'em $10 Buy-in + $1 Entry Fee
Level:4 Blinds(50/100)
Seat 3 is the button
Total number of players : 4
Seat 1:BB ( $2046 )
Seat 2:UTG ( $1633 )
Seat 3:Hero ( $2110 )
Seat 6:SB ( $2211 )
Level:4
Blinds(50/100)

Dealt to Hero [ T/images/graemlins/heart.gif Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif ]
1 fold. Hero?

ANother 4-same-stacks question. Normally this is an easy push, but for some reason I hesitated here. What difference does similar sizes make versus more assymetrical stack sizes? Or is QT really worth messing with on the bubble anyway?

What if I play it, only a raise is playing it, right? Then drop if re-raised? is this why a push is better than a raise?

Thanks!

A standard 3xBB raise might invite the BB to come over the top and steal the blinds as well as your raise. BB can't really resteal if its only option is calling off its entire stack.
