Default 5 handed, utg, lev 8, push w/A5 – How’s my line?

When the big blind hits me the next hand, it’s going to cost 30% of my stack, and destroy my folding equity. I think I have to make a move here with this weak ace. As long as one of the other 3 players don’t wake up with a monster, it should be hu with me and the ss bb. I figure I’ll be a favorite over the ss bb most of the time here, and he’s pot committed.

33sng - bb t400

I dont think you have any choice here. Clear push given the circumstances.

I assume the BB is the shortstack here?

If it werent for that, i'd probably push much much more here...Ax is easy regardless. Id push maybe even top 40%-30%
