Default questionable push... getting frustrated with fish

ok. i used to have a bigger bankroll, now starting over with $5 tourneys and getting frustrated. only read was that both limpers liked to see a lot of flops for any price. do u push here ?


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (6 handed) converter

CO (t1615)
Button (t2420)
SB (t1225)
Hero (t1165)
UTG (t4700)
MP (t2375)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls t150, CO calls t150, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1165</font>, MP folds, CO calls t1015.

Flop: (t2555) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Turn: (t2555) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t2555) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t2555

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Ac 2h (flush, ace high).
CO has 2c 3c (straight flush, six high).
Outcome: CO wins t2555. </font>

I guess the push is really read-specific (read: only do it if they will fold most of the time).

Just be glad people are willing to call your all-ins with cheese.

do u push here ?

The blinds aren't nearly big enough to warrant a push with A2o. A2o is an awful hand.

This is a glorified bad beat post. Double bogie.

Two calls ahead of me doesn't make me want to raise here, especially all-in, and especially when you've got 10x the BB.

Your hand doesn't look like it's necessarily going to hold up if you're playing it for value, and there have got to be better stealing opportunities elsewhere.

The only reason I could think of for raising with this hand is if the table was incredibly passive and happy to fold. Neither MP nor CO have stack sizes that say they have to be intimidated.
