Re: NL 2-7 Lowball Question
 
However, I'm wondering how ya'll would handle the situation
if he had pushed you in before you acted.


I'd probably call and stand. I'd take his push as weakness--a hand that didn't want callers from up front, but perhaps with some kind of playability.

Something else to think about in these tournament scenarios is UTG+2's EV for knocking you out. If it's the late stages and there are eight players left, I assume a large tournament.

His call cost him 4 BB's. If he wins, there's an 11.5 BB pot (4:7.5; almost 1:2), plus whatever he gains from having you depart. If he stands on a random un-paired hand, and if he can get you to draw, he's 1:3 that you'll pair. If getting you out is worth at least 8.5 BB's, he's got nothing to lose by rapping pat with it.
