Re: Is this a push? Can someone run the numbers.
It's very close either way. I probably would actually push here because if you don't, then the blinds are going to put you way down and it's going to be your random 2 cards v the current SB's random 2 cards in what, 3 hands time? That's not a good situation, to be honest. And that's only if the SB doesn't double up in the mean time. I could see the BB folding here for instance if the SB pushes to "keep the bubble alive" which would be terrible for you, of course.
Meh. Either option just sucks really, and I prefer to be the aggressor with at least a half decent hand, which even if called I'm probably not dominated (but I don't actually want to be called, of course).
You also have the (slim) chance of the BB folding because he wants to maintain aggression, in the long term he can probably fold a lot here and make up the lost $EV by pushing the next two hands anyway.
