In cases like this, it helps NOT to know if you were called.

Pushing this early makes me uneasy. Four-handed, it's the only play. Five-handed is borderline. But at this point you are nowhere near the bubble, so the villains won't be as tight as they will be after shorty busts out.

Also, you're fourth in chips, at 8BB with the blinds past you, so you aren't quite desperate yet.

Sam

Edit: I will defer to the wisdom of the group. I can't make a decent post to save my life today.

Seems like a fine push to me.

K6s is a pretty big hand in the SB with &lt;8BBs in your stack.

I seriously doubt it is possible for this push to be -$EV with ANY calling range for BB.

Very easy push.

The SK ranking make it -EV to push and show at 17BBs, so I think thats a safe guess.
