Default I\'ve got 77 and 7BBs, 7th to act. Feeling lucky?

Stars 500K 2k/4K blinds, 200 ante.

MP3: 15200
Hero: 27500
SB: 50500 (after posting)
BB: 3100 (after posting)

Hero picks up 77 on the button. MP3 Goes AI for 15200. CO folds. Hero's play?

I'm assuming this isn't some sort of bubble situation where BB folds if you push.

BB is priced in so thats 15k into a 27k pot.

MP3's range actually tightens a little because he knows BB is calling so he has a hand with some value.

I think I fold and retain my FE losing cripples me and I think I can find a better spot than 77 in a 3-way pot. <font color="#666666"> </font>

Read dependent I'd say,

but without a read I'd be inclined to fold here and preserve your chips. 77 is just strong enough to warrant coming over the top here, but you are likely coin-flip/behind to MP so this is probably a slightly negative EV play...

Since I read the whole thread I see that the BB has 31k so MP3's range is substantially higher than if the BB had 3.1k. I would say a good player's range would be 55-AA, AT-AK, KT-KQ, 45s-QJs, possibly some holdings like T8s, 86s, basically his range is huge, and I like getting my chips in when I am probably the favorite to his range.

Mp3 has &lt;5xbb, his range is any two cards if he is a decent player.

I don't necessarily see a good player pushing 24s, 23o, 72o, 92 etc. I would say his range isn't exactly any 2 cards, but somewhat close to it, with more hands in the range of a coinflip than if it actually was any 2 cards

I would push absolutely any two cards here. No question about it. Many other players would too, so you may weight the really bad cards slghtly less, but you cant exclude them. I agree that T9 is more likely than 23o

A_Plus is right. A decent player is pushing any two. Literally. Harrington on Hold 'em Volume 2 explains this pretty well.
