1.) Screw variance, play for first. TT is a godsend w/ blinds getting that large. Push.

2.) Is this really a clear push maulik? 13xBB ... I think it'd really depend if there were a bunch of limpers and Button was pushing or if everyone folded and Button was pushing ... I guess even if a bunch of people limped, that would add to the overlay of a coinflip so you could call then too ... 650 is an awful lot of chips in level 3 though ...

3.) I'd fold. But I'm a wuss.

4.) I'd play it the same way, though if UTG was a rock and suddenly is pushing, I'd mutter and then hit call anyway. You've got too many chips.
