Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx
Button (t3830) Hero (t2459) BB (t1440) UTG (t271) Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t271 (All-In)</font>, Button calls t271, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2459 (All-In)</font>. I had lots of FE, but is this +EV? |

If button's not a complete donk and won't call with stuff like Q 9 soooted (I've seen it, believe me) then this is fine.

as an aside you want him to call with Q9.
I don't mind the push. especially 4 handed. I might re-raise to 1000 or something, give myself some room to fold if button decides to re-pop. |

i am a noob at sngs so could you please explain why you want to push here?
the main goal seems to knock utg out and get in the money, right? and your chances to knock him out are higher with the button still in the hand, right? so it seems to me it's a call or fold situation preflop. i'd choose to call because the T127 won't hurt me. postflop i would ether push in case i hit or check/fold if i miss. or am i completely off the track?

i'm predicting that the button had a big pair and tried to trap people into coming over the top/coming into the hand.

That's what I thought too, figured I must've been missing something [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
Yeah, on reflection I would say a call is better too. |

It'd be terrible if he called with Q9. 88 doesn't fare that well against four overcards.
