20+2, TT at the bubble
 

Table has been tight. Even the big stack hasn't done much stealing.

Obviously I want to play this hand, but should I push or could I raise 600 in this rare spot?

You have less than 10x BB. Push.

If you raise to 600, the bigstack comes over the top and the shortstack folds, what do you do?

Re: 20+2, TT at the bubble
 

Tough one. Villain being tight, I don't think he's calling you without a real hand. I guess I'd push this, but I think it's close.

I'm pretty sure this is "Push push push, push twice on Sundays."

Re: 20+2, TT at the bubble
 

This is an obvious push with TT. A better question is, what minimum pair would you push with in this spot considering how shortstacked the BB and UTG are. I think 88 is about right.

Just push, I doubt SB calls but if he does you at least have a good solid hand to make a stand with, betting 600 looks weak, I reckon SB is more likely to come over the top if he senses weakness than he is to call an all-in raise.
