Default QTs in SB, Push?

Pokerstars 5+.5
40ish left in a 5+.50 Rebuys, i've been tight, but pushing in blind situations, so my image is probally meh. BB hasn't really stood out in any way, and i haven't put much pressure on his blind at all. Push, Raise, or fold?

Note: also a 8k sb with 400 ante
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t16000 (9 handed) converter

Button (t440345)
Hero (t128315)
BB (t134227)
UTG (t195815)
UTG+1 (t131708)
MP1 (t312756)
MP2 (t93558)
MP3 (t146132)
CO (t128732)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

You have a lot of fold equity, so a push isn't bad. Your stack is getting kind of low as well. I think a push is fine if u don't mind the gamble.

Well, I don't think you can raise here without committing. There's almost 30k in the pot, and given you haven't been stealing his blinds like mad, I push here against a mostly unknown opponent.

easy push, Q10 suited is in the top 20% of all hands, making you a decent favorite against a random hand

thanks guys, i felt that pushing was indeed the correct play, which is what i did, and i ran into AK and blah.
I had a friend who disagreed, but you guys are smarter [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

QTs is 40% versus AKo, almost even with pot odds.

With pot odds and folding equity, it is chip EV+ to push with all but junk hands. In tournaments with typical prize structures, you don't mind gambling.

If you have 7bb, and lets say you're opponent calls w/
22+,A2s+,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,A2o+,KTo+,QTo+,JTo

it's +cEV to push any 2.

Yes, push. Getting called by AK doesn't even suck too bad.
