What do you suggest your friend does with the hand after investing 3-5K (1/3 - 1/2 his stack) if he gets reraised preflop? What about if the flop contains an Ace? Dump it to a reraise or a bet on the flop? What if the flop contains an Ace and it's checked to him? Push then? I guess I'm not following what other option your friend has?

I guess I would have popped it to that much, called a re-raise all-in preflop, pushed an aceless flop, although I'm not sure what I would have done on an A flop...

About how big do the stack sizes have to be before this wouldn't be a standard push? 50 BB? In this particular tournament, pushing probably wouldn't fold AK-AT and since my friend wasn't a short stack on the bubble, I thought not pushing preflop would try to cut down the chance he'd be busted w/out any money if the shortstack folds and the big stack calls and wins instead of getting 4th place fairly easily...

have a nice day,
