Default Re: Simple push bot question

I think it's a close decision. My default would be to fold here. I'd prefer to push junk in MP or LP than a hand like 44 UTG. It really comes down to how tight people are. If it's going to take a big hand to get called (like AA-JJ, AK) then pushing is profitable. Something like AA-99, AK-AQ then it's very marginal. Add a few more hands and it's -EV. As for what pairs you'd push, well if we go with the middle range 44 is pretty much the same as 88. They both have roughly the same equity against AA-99, AK-AQ. 99 is slightly better. TT becomes profitable.

In sum, I'd fold. I think you've got enough chips to be a little more patient but I'd definitely be looking at stealing with position or pushing a decent hand next round.
