Do you like this push?

I'll get hit by the blinds exactly when the BB goes to 200. I was against the only 2 players against whom I still have a good amount of FE and even though they are shortstacked, I don't think they were desperate.

My hand isn't total crap, so even if I get called I should have a few outs.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter

BB (t760)
UTG (t2115)
MP (t820)
CO (t3190)
Hero (t535)
SB (t580)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

What do you think?

i don't know...i try and fold sometimes to the small stacks. They feel desperate at times and may make a bad call and walk into a good call. you know what I mean? Plus you do have like 3 more free hands to look for a better one.

Clear allin in my book.

[wuwei]

Just exactly perfect.

[fluorescenthippo]

With the blinds going up I would do the same

This is the second best stealing opportunity in the known universe. Given your statement about the BB hitting you on the next level change and your current stack -- 5 BBs -- I think this is a spot where you push 72o. Q9o is a MONSTER for you right now.

I push. Even if one of them is a 'gambo-ler' who will call with A4, a gamble here is worth it to get a stack capable of getting to first place, and this is your best chance.

dude, I feel your pain.

As I said before, do the math, it will answer your question.

[microbet]

Easy push.

You should do like Scuba says and do the math.
