Default Re: just inside the money - 7 times BB - AT suited UTG - what\'s your p

[ QUOTE ]
agreed. I busted out of a 180 the other day with 8x bb with 78s. I caught crap from the table, but honestly, I'd rather do it with the 78s that a10off. You're usually in better shape if called (although the case you had, up against a big pair, you're better with A10, obviously.). The problem with the a10 in early pos, is AK or AQ is probably gonna call and you're in BAD shape. Whereas with the 78s example, you're not in bad shape at all.

True pushing with ATs in early position you are likely to be dominated. However, you have an M of 3. You have the odds to push. If you are called and dominated, you are probably a 7-3 dog with 4-3 pot odds. If your stack was a little bigger, this would be an easy fold.
