Default Re: Push 99 w/10xbb at full table?

It's really important to know how big your stack is relative to the rest of the players. Are you around the average? Is there 1 or more big stacks and a bunch of smaller stacks? I'd be more inclined to push this if I had the fewest chips at the table or was well below average. I'd also probably re-raise here if I was chipleader and the original raiser couldn't hurt me with his stack (this doesn't sound like the situation though).

You're nowhere near desperate to make a move now though with 10x the BB (in terms of being about to bust out). However, if you're the short stack, I'd be more inclined to push since you need to start accumulating chips anyway. Assuming you're around the average in chips, I'd fold this since there are still 7 players to act after you.

I'd probably need about 7x the BB or less to push with an average stack here.
