I think it's good.

Too early for mine...

A5 is marginal at best, your only just under 10BB, there's 2 very small stacks, and UTG only has bout 200 more than you. A big stack is behind you (more likely to call), the two small stacks are more likely to call given their chip stacks, and if you do get called A5 is unlikely to be that good with the only hands you beating KQ, K10, QJ etc, and even then your only marginal favourite.

If I was going to open push like this from your spot I'd want to be looking at 1010/JJ or AQ+

I'd prob fold my A5 here.

Of course I'm sure someone will tell me I'm wrong... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Eh, I could go either way. It's probably pretty close to ICM neutral, but I'd be willing to push here on really tight tables. It's definitely not standard for me, though.

Even with that said, I lean pretty heavily towards folding.
