I think I should put that in my location.

[DemonDeac]

been done before, but go for it anyway

[Dave D]

The real answer is that the toughest situations for me are when I'm a shorty. Haven't had a great run lately either.

I think this is push or fold. I don't see the point of calling and trying to check it down with the bigger stack.

There are at least 70 people left in this tournament and you're short stacked. You shouldn't care whether you're knocking people out at this point, just think about what'll get you the most chips.

You're not nearly deep enough to be playing this for set value, and you do pretty well against the big stack's range here. If he folds preflop you have good equity against the short-stacks' ranges and an overlay from the pot, but it's not the end of the world if he calls. If he has an overpair, too bad, but he very often doesn't.

With 10BB and that action ahead of me, my chips go into the middle every time here.

you can't just call this.

You have less than 10 BB and 900 is almost half your stack.

You also have 3 others in the pot and there's a high probability that they will have one of the overcards that will hit.

If you push, you'll get HU with the raiser who will probably call you.

This is a push or fold. But not a call. Calling is the worst option.
