I would move allin for sure. You probbaly have the best hand and you have folding equity. Meanwhile you have just under 5x the BB, what more do you expect?

Switch 44 to 22. Do you feel the same way?

The UTG limp is always interesting in these situations but hard to read without context. One of my most common notes to make on players is "Can limp and fold in the late game" so that I know when I can play back at these things. If he's planning on limping and calling, whatever his range is, I don't think 44 is that exciting a holding to be getting involved with.

If hes planning on limping and calling but very rarely has an overpair, this is an automatic push. Fortunately he will fold sometimes as well.

Re: $22 SnG - short stacked w/ pocket 4s???
 

UTG sees you pushing from button and sees you are short, he may call with any pair like 66-TT or any 2 over cards thinking he may have a small advantage...

I would wait until i can enter the pot first even if it is just something like 89s if you are entering first I like it better.

that being said, i do not think it is wrong to push and i would not fault that play, just think there is a better spot coming

Re: $22 SnG - short stacked w/ pocket 4s???
 

BB = 150
Stack = 705
= PUSH.

Not enough better opportunity waiting time left to fold.

Re: $22 SnG - short stacked w/ pocket 4s???
 

You guys are killin me here. How can you sit around and wait for some great oppurtunity with just over 4x the BB left. Yes it isnt a dream scenario, but you aren't likely to have one at this point. Anything but moving allin is simply terrible IMO. If the blinds are 50-100 then feel free to fold all you want.

Dammit, my first instinct was to push but then I retracted my post. Partial credit? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: $22 SnG - short stacked w/ pocket 4s???
 

I clearly state push in my post and then perhaps not so clearly say that there isnt enough time left to wait for a better opportunity.

So there.

Re: $22 SnG - short stacked w/ pocket 4s???
 

I wasnt referring to you! Just responded to the last post.

Re: $22 SnG - short stacked w/ pocket 4s???
 

Missed that: fold

Re: $22 SnG - short stacked w/ pocket 4s???
 

Ok.

I actualy find it quite encouraging that so many say fold even though fold = quite horrid.

I think maybe some have missed that the BB is 150.
