Raise to 2000. Fold to a push.

Hero only started out with 2210, so a raise to 2000 is out of the question.

What happened: Hero pushed, SB folded, BB called with KQ and caught a K.

Raising 2k gives you a chance to steal blinds, but if played back with gives you a chance to try to fold into second.

With blinds at 200/400, Hero would be all-in next hand in the BB and would have no leverage. The current short stack could then fold HIS way into second. Hero pushed to try to win the tournament.

With blinds at 200/400 Hero's got some wiggle room, he's got less than 20% of his stack in next hand (unless you're referring to the raise 2000 and fold to a push idea, which I hope was posted sarcastically since it's clearly insane). Moreover, he'll have shorty effectively all-in the hand after that, with basically a 50-50 chance of knocking him out (probably more, since big stack may take him out some of the time).

It's far from a great position, since shorty could just as easily double up and make it back into a battle for 2nd, but it's not quite bad enough to make pushing A7s correct against a villain who's known to make marginal calls.
