edit: my apologies to the first 3 posters as I had to reorganize this post

Fold the first and third hands. You posted the fist hand twice fwiw.

I probably push the second hand although its a marginal play. Statistically you won't see a better hand in the BB and since blinds are going up next hand that makes me push.

[chisness]

i'd fold them all -- i think you have to be a bit more desperate than you are here

[microbet]

The second is the best.

All three are sometimes pushes for me, depending on how likely I think I am to be called and how hard it has been to get first into a pot. I think the second is one I'm somewhat likely to make and the first and third are somewhat unlikely, but again, depending on the context.

I like that, although you are in early position, there is no desperate stack acting after you.

[chisness]

i like the K7 one with maybe 450 or lower

[Bigwig]

I fold 1, 3, &amp; 4.

I push 2 in a flash. IMO, not pushing 2 is an enormous mistake.

[ilya]

I fold all 4.

[chisness]

not pushing 2 is not an enormous mistake -- i really don't think it matters either way

[Newt_Buggs]

hmm, I'm glad I posted these since we don't seem to be getting much of a consensus. I'm surprised that no one has said push #4 yet (newly added), you guys are that confident sucking down a BB for 1/4 of your stack and losing most of your FE unless you get delt a premium hand?

[lastchance]

I'm calling/pushing with much less than a premium hand. My hand still should be better than 46s though.

I agree with Bigwig entirely. Definitely push hand 2, the rest are probably folds.
