Hero...?

No real reads at the table, except the big stack got lots of chips with pretty bad calls.Sorry if this is real basic, im trying to learn [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hero folds quickly. You are a big dog to Ace x, almost every pocket pair, and pretty much a coin flip to qj and kq, which are the only hands calling you here. Sit back and wait for a better time to push.

what is the minimum pushing requirements for your in this spot?

Re: $22 - weak ace utg
 

AQ+, JJ+. You are not desperate for chips that bad and have waaaaaaaaaay too many people behind you.

Edit: If blinds are going up next hand im pushing AJ+ and 99+, possibly KQs.

It would depend on who's in the blinds, when they go up, and how the table is playing. But the worst I would push is AT or 77.
