Sorry. I screwed up the Converter..

Man, that's tough. The problem is, even though you're 7th in chips, your stack is still pretty short. Plus, even though you don't need to be worried about UTG limpers all the time, a guy limping off 10% of his stack is usually either a)a total donkey or b)trapping.

I'm not sure what to tell you. This is totally read-dependent. Does UTG limp a lot, even at these stakes? Does he limp-raise AA-KK from up front?

Donkey or not donkey? That is the question.

I was only at this table for about 5 hands so the reads are thin.

[UMCorona]

Lacking any good reads here, I'd say push. You don't have much longer to wait around for a better hand and this way you either pick up the blinds + 800, or you get called and still have a chance at being ahead. Then of course if you get called and win you're in much better position to place higher.

[locutus2002]

Hero pushes. And it's not even close.

You need to isolate. I'm sure villain's range is pretty wide and your probably 50/50 against it. With 4XBB you can't be too picky. AT is pretty strong 6 handed. Don't worry about the shorter stacks, they won't win the tournament, you have to win this hand to make a run for 1st.

[Sykes]

I rather get nothing than get 7th. Push and it's not even close. What's the buy-in?

$6.50 buyin. 7 places pay: 80-60-42-30-24-18-12.

[LethalRose]

push, you barely have 4BB's. hopefully UTG limper limped with K10s or some other drawing hand.
