Aight everyone, say, "Ew perg, you stink." I bet I bubble out cause of this.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter

Hero (t1965)
BB (t3972)
UTG (t1353)
Button (t710)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
2 folds, Hero raises to t600, BB raises to t2100, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t2700

Only reason I didn't was cause there's that small stack there.
edit: which is weak and shitty, I know.

Not really. You know better than a lot of people how the ICM works. Sometimes you do have to tighten up due to a smallie. But that said, this is still a push.

EDIT: But this could also be very marginal if biggie was pretty loose. It's a push in my opinion, since I reviewed the entire tourney history and could tell that bigstack was playing tightly.
