Default $10+1: 5-handed, Hero in CO with two healthy targets in the blinds

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter

UTG (t2740)
Hero (t1170)
Button (t860)
SB (t1640)
BB (t1590)

Preflop: Hero is MP with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero ???

Does that little guy to my immediate left on the button make a push less favorable? Or are there more reasons a push here blows?

I think this is a fold. You're not in dire straights chip-wise, and you're way out of position.

I don't think he is small enough to feel pressured into calling. I think you can treat him any anyone else. General tight/looseness of these three are what should dictate your action.

I'm not a huge fan of pushing JTo into three people, unless they are very tight. But on the other hand: when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

I don't think you'll find their calling range is tight enough to justify this push at most 10's. Even if you were on the button I'd say an all in is questionable into the two healthy stacks.

Unless the SB/BB were calling A LOT, I think this a is a clear push. In 3 hands, your stack with be blinded down to 870. Do you want to play with 870 at the next level (150/300)?

eastbay's SnG Power Tools ( "the Pushometer") says: Poosh!!! (unless you are up against 'maniacs' (calls with 44, A7s, A9o, KJs)

Tighties: +2.1% $EV Diff

Man, I might just have to get that little proggie. I said fold, but apparently this is a clear push. Interesting.

At the $10+1, that maniac range is incredibly small. I have a really hard time getting people to fold A5 (then again, I never see them fold that hand, only call it).

Hey, that's what I said! Who needs a calculator?

(I might've gotten lucky, that calculator is cool).

Anyway, I don't believe eastbay's calculator takes into account that you will paying blinds in 2 hands. This makes it an even easier push.
