<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero?

Push or fold, and why?

Push. You're not much ahead of the short stack with the blinds hitting you soon and you can't expect much better than AQ nor to be in much better a position to steal that this in the next 2, 3 or so hands.

If you want something more detailed, calculate the ev of the hands you put them on if they call you. It's too late for me to do it tonight. d:

Exactly you're not far ahead of him, easy push. I would be thankful to see that hand with my stack.

FOLD. And I don't think it's even close. SB has either doubled up or busted within the next hand. Make him double up before you voluntarily commit another chip.

After some soul searching I have to say you should probably fold. It's painful, but thats probably a leak in my game, if pain can be a leak.

btw calling preflop is an option here, assuming you'll have enough to play thru next set of blinds (meaning they dont move up to 150-300)

I was basically just answering your original question of push/fold, and then got caught up using eastbay's program so forgot about calling [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

And when SB pushes and BB folds? When BB calls?

You call preflop as long as SB moves allin here, regardless of whether the BB is in the hand.

ugh, that doesn't convince me not to push here? Further explaining? Thanks!
