Re: ITM, short stack pushes, is this a no brainer call?
[ QUOTE ]
Advice, make a list of No-brainer autocalls headsup & ITM. Put some thought into it.
For example, if you're the pusher, you should be pushing the top 50% of hands, right? If you're the caller, you should be calling the top X% of hands. For you, figure out what your gap is, and then relate that to hands. I'm confident this hand will fall squarely into whatever X% is for you.

Good advice. As to the hand, I hesistated for about a second, and then called. He had QJo and i held on.
In this particular hand, A10 was right around my lower range, mainly b/c the pusher was very tight and i had a good read on the big stack - who was letting me steal, so i wasnt THAT rushed for time.

Now here's a better scenario for you to think about:
Blinds 300/600
Villain - t5000
Hero(SB) - t5200
BB - t800
Villain pushes allin, and you have ATs. Do you call here?

I would fold here and let the villian play the BB one on one since his stack is so small. If he folded to me, I would push w/o thinking.
