yeah ilya, you're right about the SNGPT numbers--your EV sinks to break even when they start calling with about top 17%. And SB, among others, could be calling with at least that.

what really makes me think I probably have to push is the huge stack on my left.

Can you help me understand this? My instinct was that having the big stack on your left is an argument for folding, because he might abuse all the shorter stacks to HIS left. I would be more inclined to push this if the big stack was on my right, and he had just folded. As in: OK he's out, here's my chance. Am I exactly wrong?

The big problem with having him directly on my left is that he's in the big blind when I'm in the SB, ruining a lot of my best pushing opportunities. I want the big stack to be across the table from me, from which great distance he can neither easily abuse my blind nor make loose calls against my LP pushes.

I can't believe people are telling you to fold this hand.
