Fold. If he were pushing t600, you have to make it. He's making a 6xBB+ push. I think you can find better +EV spots than this. I would be more comfortable pushing him w/ a random hand and having good FE than calling when you know you're looking at 55-45 or worse.

Haha I just read that thread...though I think William Chen's play at a Step 5 with 7 people at the table might be a little different reasoning.

i fold here and it's not even close

u are, at best, 52% against the push...most likely u are behind (1-gap unsuited higher cards beat out 22)

u have 2k chips vs 2 1k stacks that wanna just get 3rd...i'd rather push any2 into them any hand that the 3k stack folds and be much more +ev

i fold lower pps without even thinking in this situation


even if u win the coinflip u are itm with stacks of 3.5k/3k/1.5k so u don't even gain much in FE cause players loosen up itm and u aren't even big stack or anything
