Re: Can i Push this?
 

Given your stack, I'd say you've been calling / pushing this sort of preflop hand already.

For me this is an easy fold. Best odds you've got are about 5:1 to get another K on the flop. Plus you're totally out of position on the post flop action - maybe at CO you could call depending on what the other players are representing and how they've played so far.

Don't be fooled by the fact that you're suited - you're odds on hitting the flush are about 25:1 (maybe my maths is wrong here - but its definitely not going to be better than that - could someone cofirm??).

I did ICM calculations.. seems to be a SLIGHTLY profitable push no matter your opponent's calling standards. Your ICM estimated prize pool equity might be a little bit too optimistic for the case where you are called and lost.. I don't know [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I'd push this at a speed I've never pushed before.

What about the possibility that villain folds?

Re: Can i Push this?
 

Still don't like the pot odds.
I'd need a good read on the villian - but given he's the lowest on chips I'm guessing he'd call the push.
I'd prefer to fold on this and hope for a better hand with good pot odds before the BB comes back to me.

Re: Can i Push this?
 

I am pushing this (and a lot worse) very quickly. I am likely pushing top 40% of hands here with the possibility of more if I have any sort of read on the BB that would indicate that he isn't calling with any two.
