Default $55 bubble hand that makes my head hurt....

One villain is tight, other 2 are loose passive. I have not been stealing because they were calling almost every PF bet. I had KK last hand, but amazingly got no action. Anyway, SGA has this as "too close to call," but I am thinking I should push and pray.

My FE is evaporating, I am outchipped by 4x and the blinds are nearly on me. Ugh.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) converter

UTG (t3950)
Button (t3105)
SB (t2145)
Hero (t800)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
Hero kicks himself in the balls for letting himself get to the bubble with only t800....

I probably push too. You need a double up, and you cant afford to lose anymore chips.

The converter has you in BB. Which stacks are where? Not that this matters a lot, but it does a little.

I would probably push this and pray...not the best scenario obviously; you're getting called only by hands that beat you.

Damn. It really munges everything, doesn't it?

This is what it should be:

Hero(t800)
Button (t3950)
SB (t3105)
BB (t2145)

Maybe this is a good place for a limp and go?

Well, I think limping would require opponents that think at the second level (i.e. why did he limp? Oh Sh!t, he must have a premium hand... better check and fold even if I hit my pair of queens with crap kicker)....

I think this is the best stack arrangement for the push...you have the stack with most to lose in the BB and his calling range will be highest.

Would you advocate a limp and go, or a straight push?

You desperately need a double up. Just push and pray. You may get them all to fold. You may get called by one opponent and suck out on a better hand. You may get called by an opponent with something like QJ and actually be in the lead. Limping will just invite them all to call and bust you.
