Short Short-handed Question
 

Party Friday Special with 230 players left out of a field of 1180 or so. Top 140 are paid, but I'm not looking to coast into the money. Average stack is 5,000 and the blinds are at 100/200. I only have 5.75 BBs here and have to make a move soon. Nobody at this table has seen me play.

Push or fold?

Re: Short Short-handed Question
 

I'd push and I don't think it's close. Blinds are about to take whatever folding equity you have away and it's not a bad hand. Sure, you don't want to get called necessarily but you've got a decent kicker, they're suited, easy decision.
