Standard

Hang on actually, no, you called right? Hmm I think I may lay this down, tough spot.

[Superfluous Man]

I probably lay it down, maybe even if I know for certain this guy is pushing any two (and he's probably not just pushing any two, so I would certainly fold here).

No need to call and find myself in a coinflip for all my chips when there's someone who's very likely to bust before me. If it was folded to me, I'd probably push, though.

[Nottom]

Its a tough spot, but you really have to fold unless this guy is pushing with almost anything. He needs to be pushing 50% of his hands (or more) to make this worth calling, and most players won't do this even with the chip lead. (Plus you have to give the guy some props for calling you out before he pushed)

Obviously if this is folded to you its an autopush.

I take it you were at the table?

this guy was loving life when you guys flipped'm (bastard anyway [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] )

tough laying down a hand worthy of open-pushing, but there are very few hands i'd call anyone with, given the chip counts. fold, continue to pick your steal opportunities.

It's certainly better than a coinflip for hero against any likely pushing range for the villain. But it's still read dependent I think, without doing any ICM. Villain needs to have a significantly wider pushing range than usual here.

[curtains]

I would definitely fold the large majority of the time.
