Re: Amusing reaction to 79s push ( low content )
With 8BB late in a Stars tourney, I once pushed 66 against a hyper-aggressive UTG+1's 3BB raise. He called with QQ and I drew a 6 on the river. Two railbirds instantly berated me for my ridiculous...

Re: Show one, show all rule
My understanding is that in most rooms, you can show one card when the hand does not go to showdown.
My understanding is that in all rooms, people who show one card are generally douchebags.

Re: $10+1 rebuy, in the money....
With 5BB left, there's no agonizing over this. If you don't push here, you'll be pushing two random cards from the BB. Just push this reasonably strong holding and hope for the best.
