Default Re: Would you push here?

Factors against

1.Zonkers has shown strength and even though he is raising frequently he is not a maniac.

2.I'm not under any immediate pressure from the blinds.

3. Storden is a bit short stacked and if I just want to make the money I could try an wait him out.

Factors in favor
1. Poor position negated by pushing. If i just call and miss the flop I'm out of postion and most likely against overcards on the board. I would expect him to keep the pressure on.
2. I thought it reasonably likely that he would fold and even if he doesn't i think a 55-45 coinflip in my favor is probable.
3. If i double up I'm in excellent position to win.

ChipWarrior, you have excellently summed up all the factors correctly. Why are you asking this question? You are acutely aware of the risks involved.

Do you know how to do ICM analysis? This would be a good hand to do this on.
