I would fold, your stack size won't hurt the sb and the shorties are looking for reasons to get involved in a pot.

Yep. And when you get called, you are never a big favorite and often dominated.

I'm pushing this. The shorties aren't THAT short and you're going to lose quite a bit of FE once the blinds hit you next hand. Also, I don't think the shorties are going to be as aggressive in their calling as you guys might think. It would depend a lot on how much I was pushing, how much everyone else was folding...you know...the bubble dynamics.

On the other hand, I'm overly aggressive, so take it for what it's worth [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I'm thinking this should be a fold. I would muck A3o here in a second -- I've always had the problem of thinking suited aces are that much stronger, when really what is likely to be a heads up match if called only means a few percent more in my favor.

For those that said fold, how weak of an ace are you pushing here?

I dont really get how people debate these spots. Its all about a bigger picture with table dynamics and stuff, there isnt like a chart to look at and figure it out. Hand values are not very important here; not as important as having a good feel for the table and how you are percieved. Wont some of you push 25o here sometimes?
