Re: Some $200 sng \"what would you do\" hand quiz\'s
Yeah, I realize all of those options.
How does calling allow the Hero to survive more frequently than pushing? Sure it's close....the reason I push is calling seems more exploitable by the SB and/or BB. Pushing puts the SB to a decision and I think will generally get him out of the picture. If the big stack wants to tangle here you're screwed anyway, so your only hope is for him to give you his blinds after a SB fold. I'd much rather be HU here vs. big stack than 3-way with the SB along for the ride.
What seems likely if you call is that SB calls, BB calls. Both check the flop (or the BB bets it and you call and then SB calls) and you're still just as screwed (or more so).
FWIW, however, I still think I'm missing something important in regards to this hand...
Also, as to the second point, I think it's obvious that the BB letting you take the blind is good for Hero. That was not my question/point. What I want to know is whether or not it's so clear that the big stack should (or would) be taking this line here.
