Default Re: Wrong time to push?

IMO this push is fine.

1.) 5 handed with Hero at less than half the next stack.
2.) Hero has only 4xBB after posting. When he is button he will be pushing into the two largest stacks and raising 2.7xBB when the smaller stack has 20xBB.
3.) Villain and SB are the only two he will have ANY FE against. Not a bunch, but if Hero's instilling fear in anyone, it's Villain.
4.) Villain limping from button feels weak, looks weak, smells weak. Could be a monster, but I take a dog for a dog.

That being said, if you seriously believe Hero has low FE against Villain, it's a stop-and-go on any flop. 1/3 times Villain won't hit the flop and will suspect low pair but begrudgingly lay it down.

I think I could do this with much worse cards. The only other alternative is to sit back and pray for a miracle.
