Should these 10\'s have been shoved or raised?
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) converter
MP2 (t2745) CO (t528) Hero (t985) SB (t604) BB (t1261) UTG (t825) MP1 (t1052) Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Hero has been on auto fold for quite awhile. The previous hand I hand done a blind steal from the CO with Ax. Big stack limped in for 100. I popped to to 350. Folding around to the big stack who shoved. I couldn't hit the all-in button fast enough. But here's the question. With those stack sizes, was the 3 1/2 times raise the right play, or should those 10's have been shoved right away? |

I push there. I push most of the time I have 12 or less BB since I will be pot committed anyway (there are times when this is not true, a lot more so in STT's than MTT's, but in general..)

Re: Should these 10\'s have been shoved or raised?
Gotta push. Also, if you had a better stack, that raise would've been too small anyway. The general rule is that the raise should be 3x the BB + 1 BB for each limper (so the bet's 4x the BB + 1 for the limper). Here, a reasonable raise would've been to 450-500.
Another nice rule to remember is that if anything you're considering doing costs more than 30% of your stack, push or fold. Here, a reasonable raise would be to 450 or so, which is almost half your stack, so this is a clear push (unless you have a read that suggests fold). |

Re: Should these 10\'s have been shoved or raised?
What everyone else said: PUSH. In addition to the your stack size vs. blinds, you're getting some folding equity here. You'd rather take the blinds + 1 limp and stay in the tournament than race off in a coin flip situation (but if you have a read that the player will push with 22-99, but not call your push then it's a slightly better move) Remember, if you push you have 2 ways of winning the hand. He folds or you win a showdown. If you raise here and he pushes, you can only win by winning the showdown.
