Default Re: $22: missed push?

Sorry, but i really really disagree. Folding is fine here unless SB and BB are very tight. Why do you want to push 7 high from the button when you have 9xbb behind? Especially if you pushed the last 2/3 hands..

Cuz there's only two players left to act and I have significant FE. The blinds are significant, and if called by a couple of overs, I have a great suckout hand. I'm ~58-42 vs non-paired overs such as AK if they happen to pick up a hand. I'd like to begin to seperate myself from the field with everyone bunched together.

Well, I guess I don't feel bad about folding... maybe I should feel bad about considering pushing in the first place? [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] I gotta believe that at least some good players would push here though. I seems like a fairly close decision to me for the reasons that I have given.

In tournament play, Sklansky advocates not taking big risks in close situations (slightly +EV) and capiatalizing on highly +EV situations (or something to that effect). Since this appears to be close, it sounds like you made the correct play by folding.
