A 4-handed push I wasn't sure about... My hand isn't very strong, but the big blind had been pretty tight (VPIP = 18%), and i figured his calling standards here would be pretty strict since a loss to a push here would decrease hist ITM chances quite a bit. The high possibility of a fold and the very significant boost my stack would get from stealing the blinds made me go with the push. Frankly, I was very surprised when I saw what he called with.
I know a lot of the more experienced posters here don't frequently respond to posts from people who aren't on the forums as much, but I'd love to hear what someone like raport or eastbay thinks about this hand.
