Default Idiotic push?

Silly to take what would probably be a coinflip with stacks this deep? Elementary blunder or just a marginal play? Villian had been raising to about that level with pairs down to 2-2. I was just off a double-up on AA and maybe got a little overzealous.


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (5 handed) converter

Hero (t2326)
BB (t1444)
UTG (t460)
Villian (t4095)
Button (t5175)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Villian raises to t400</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2326</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>,Villian calls t1926.

Final Pot: t4752

If he's raising with 22, he's also raising tons of hands you dominate or are a 60/40 favorite over. He alos going to fold a lot to your all-in.

You still have a long way before the money with 4 healthy stacks, so push away with Big Slick and don't 2nd guess it.

Push away &amp; cry as you lose your 2329323290 coin flip in a row. Ok maybe it's just in my head. Or maybe it's just been this week...

He raised 2-2 from MP - 5th or 6th once, very early in the tournament with 9 people still there and a few limpers behind him.

In any case, thanks guys. I do see now that my stack size made the push the best play. A call would have taken too many chips if no A or K showed up on the flop, and him folding or calling AQ or AJ was too likely to not push.
