I am definitely in the push camp. Despite the arguments against it, I think that it is certainly the best move. With only calling here, you are almost certainly either a.) going to push by the end of the hand, or b.) only going to see 3 cards, when another 2 might give you the edge you need. Now, for those of you who would only call, what are you going to do when the flop comes something like: Jc Qc 6s and your opponent pushes? Now you are facing a MUCH harder decision than whether or not to push into hands that (in a tourney like this) LIKELY (without a better read on either opponent) could probably vary from AKs-A8s, AKo-ATo, KQs, KQo, KJs, QJs, TJs, and any pocket pair down to 55. With that flop, you have to ask: Did he make trips? Is he close to making his flush? Did he pair up here? And, though you very well could be ahead, would probably have to fold if your opponent pushed here, on pure odds, if nothing else. Push early, see your 5 cards, know that unless he has AA or KK, you are NOT much behind, and that unless you are dominated by one of those two hands, you have the odds you need to push.
