if u had a few less chips, easy push
if u had a few more chips, eash fold

with this stack, it's more your discretion...i'd fold because blinds will only add 15% to your stack and the range that calls you will hurt you

44 is a dog to any 2 suited above it, crushed by higher pps, tied with 1-gaps above it, slight dog to higher connectors, etc

so u really really want them to fold here...how tight are they?

i have a feeling if u put this into sngpt, it'd be slightly + for t/a opps and - for l/m opps

if u were sb it'd be easier to call as well

push unless you have reason to believe they have a maniacle calling range.

I would fold, because I think in a $6 tourney, the calling range of the BB and SB would be too large to make pushing profitable, and your stack is still healthy at 10BB.

This is definitely one of those "it depends" situations. What kind of calling range do the SB and BB have. If they are typical $6 maniacs who will call with nearly any two, then a fold here is probably in order. If they're a little tighter, push.

I think the key to this hand is that it's a turbo, so blinds rise faster than normal. I think this turns it into a fairly clear push.
