Since this is a 5.50, i think this is an easy push. Maybe in a higher buyin i woudl fold this, but that is pretty hard.

I would push AA, KK, QQ always at low buyins unless I have a reason not too.

I would push AK if I need to win a coin flip. I think you are 50/50 to push or fold. I think I push on one and fold to two.... you are likely facing two (525 should call likely)...so I think I fold and let the big stack go for it.

Assuming neither has AA or KK then you could be tripling up here, setting you up very nicely for the later stages. Although you can get out at no cost, I would probably be tempted.

Likely to be up against a PP and AQ maybe? I guess it would be +EV.

You're now down to 6bb.. I don't think I can bring myself to fold this. By the way - seat 0?!

Actually, I would prefer to be in against 2 other hands, since if neither player has AA or KK, I can assume that if I hit a pair, I should win the hand a large fraction of the time.

Easy push.

Hmm...maybe that's why the converter wouldn't work...
