Default Re: Anybody go to the felt here?

I can't see pushing here, as you are going to be called by both players. Last thing you want to happen is be up against 4 overcards. With that said, and this may not be conventional thinking, why not call, and push the flop, unless it's something like AKJ or something. You are getting 3.5-1 on a call, and then you will have 705 chips to use on the flop to protect your hand. If you flop a set, you can check, and most likely triple up when someone bets. I will do this many times in tournaments, where I know I am a coinflip, I will often call a raise as a shortstack, leaving a few chips to put all in on the flop to protect my hand from a free turn and river.
