Dealt to HERO [ Td Ac ]
Hero calls [50].
DoctorPoor folds.
bensdad943 folds.
NoHands folds.

hit2right folds.

drgrcr1967 raises [50].

Was I right to make this push. I mean, I figured that he was capable of making a move w/ anything and since I had shown weakness by only calling it would make it more likely he was making a move. The fact that the blinds were creeping up on me made me feel more compelled to call. Should I have played it differently?

Fold ATo UTG.

You should be mucking this hand from the start.

I agree, in retrospect I probably should have folded PF. But that aside, after that decision was made, was it wrong to move all-in in the face of a raiser who probably was stealing and has shown down some extremely weak hands (Especially since I was starting to become low on chips)?

Well, depends on how bad this raiser is. You probably got shown bad cards, and I suppose your read makes this ok, but yeah, fold ATo UTG.

Eh, maybe. It's not like AT is that great a hand, though.

This was not a great play, you've got 12.5 BB's, a marginal holding for 8-handed. Personally, I wouldn't even limp here, much less limp-push.

I think im folding this PF. A10o is just not strong enough with this many people left in the hand. You have plenty of time to find a better spot.
