Default Great play or just lucky?

I have t530 in the SB, blinds are 100/200... I have 73o, 3 limpers , I push!! Mission acomplished I get called by 66 and there is 1800 in the middle. It was such a loose/ passive table that there was a chance to win the pot without showdown but more realisticly to get one caller only. ( the other option was pushing post-flop)

Yeah not a bad thought at all, you were probably always gonna get a caller (the last person to act woulda been getting something like 5/1 pot odds on his call or something) and you knew you would be behind, but even so, with that much dead money it makes it well worthwhile. I woulda probably folded in that spot (and missed a good opportunity)

Pushing post-flop isn't gonna achieve anything, with 5 people in the hand one of them is bound to hit something + call. Nope, I think you played this perfectly.

EDIT : I assumed the 66 held but reading it again it looks like you hit.

Bad play. You have no FE, and should wait for a better hand before your BB.

Dude, if he gets 1 caller the pot will be 530 + 530 + 200*4 = 1860 chips if he wins

Since he's invested 530, he can be worse than 3/1 against and still have good pot odds. (his hand vs AKs = 32/67).

It's close but I'd probably push. In order to get 1860, you're going to have to double up twice before the blinds come around again, if you decide to fold. Obviously you're a huge dog but what other options do you have???

I don't really like it. I would expect to be called by at least 2 limpers quite often and at that point you are a huge dog.

I lost the all-in but was satisfied with the play. I also take into account I will lose 1/5th of my stack if I fold, its an intresting debate.

This question really shouldn't have come up, since you should have pushed UTG with 730 chips and not taken a blind.
