Re: Step 5 not that hard
This was a less than 6xBB push from an aggressive player on the button. I could have had 22, 33, KQ, KJ, and various medium to large suited connectors or gappers. He has enough money in the pot that he is getting 3-2 pot odds. If it was an early position push for 10xBB, then I agree he probably needs atleast AT or 66 to call.
Calling is EV+ or atleast EV even. I think it is worth gambling at this point. He is at a disadvantage as a small stack and he did not appear to be a good player compared to the others left in the Step, so I think it is worth gambling. He can push himself, but picking up the blinds is not like doubling up.
I thought, "what a fish," when I saw A4s, but after thinking it over, it seems like a reasonable play.
