Re: Mid-Tourney Poll
no, because the SB started the hand with 750, and you start with 1100. Losing to him leaves you t350.

Easy push. Agree, disagree?? [/ QUOTE ] I don't consider this an easy push at all, and the math agrees. It's certainly pushable (ICM neutral), but I won't do it here because I don't need the pot. I voted fold, but I can see the value of raising here. |

Re: Mid-Tourney Poll
I voted fold. The real game is about to begin in 3 hands. Everyone is going to be afraid of busting. You'll take the blinds during level 3, worst case you'll be at 950. This will essentially be 6 handed bubble play. Maintain some FE and get stay healthy for level 5.
After reading all the responses, I really think that those who wrote "easy push" are way off. Picking up t150 is nice, but this is a high risk, relatively low reward proposition. You will take the blinds on level 4, after that, go into bubble mode. Pushing here risks two things: 1) the obvious - busting and 2) (also important) hurts your table image for level 5. Whether you pick up this pot or not, all but the big stack will be in relatively the same position going into level 5 anyway. When you push in level 5, the extra t150 isn't going to change one of the other 4 players' decision from a call to a fold. |

Re: Mid-Tourney Poll
I think you guys have a great point with the table image argument. I guess I wasn't thinking about that as much as I should have. Also, I agree that the reward is really not that large. It's a much closer decision between raising and folding than I first thought. Thanks for all the input.
