Default Re: $10+1: 5-handed, short stack with ~7BBs, K8o

Push. Your stack is lousy, and you will be in big trouble when blinds go up to 100/200.

Therefore, you need to steal on this round. Looking at the stacks, your best chance to steal is against this BB or the Button. The other big stacks can afford to call you with lots of hands. Against this BB, losing to you will be crippling, but he has plenty of chips left if he folds. Your FE is unlikely to be higher than this.

Therefore, this is a clear push with a hand as good as K8.

In the 30s/50s, I'd push with any 2 cards here.
