Interesting bubble decision OR Evelyn Ng nude pics inside!
 
Of course the former is the content of the post (sorry), but hey just typing "GIGABET" as the subject received a bajillion views.

Anyway, is this an easy push?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (4 handed) converter

Hero (t500)
Button (t4270)
SB (t3070)
BB (t160)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Yes. It's not only easy, it's mandatory.

Could you explain in detail why it's mandatory?

(I don't say I don't like the push, but I would like it more if Hero had less than 450 chips. Here, having t500, Hero can fold away his blinds the next hands and wait for Tiny to race for all his chips again next orbit, even if Tiny doubles or tripples up on this hand.)

In order of attractiveness:

1) Fold
2) Call
3) Push

Do you suggest call here with the intention of having SB come along too? You plan on calling SB's raise if it happens, right?

Can you elaborate on these preferences please?

Everyone saying easy push, take a look at BB's stack again....

Muck it.

I'm pretty sure this is an easy fold.

If the big stacks are very passive, a call might work, but I still think I'd fold in almost all circumstances.

If he folds, and one of the big stacks raises on the next hand and the short stack calls, what does hero do? Call or fold?

If you push, and a big stack calls, then the BB will fold hoping that you go out. If the big stacks don't call, then the BB will probably call and then I like your chances.

As Dandy Don Meredith used to say about passing plays in football, "Three things can happen, and two of 'em are bad." I think I fold and let the big stacks take a crack at him, right?

Let's say you're playing a 215. Now, take away t3000 from the button and give it to the SB. He is now the massive bigstack.

Do you push here from UTG because you fear that the bigstack SB is likely to not complete for t10 more in order to keep the bubble alive?

How often (with the stacks altered like I'm suggesting) would the SB fold in a 215 if he had t6000? Enough to force UTG to push with QT? Just curious...
