It seems a little akward with so many players and the blinds at 50/100, but I like this push. Your have enough chips to threaten the BB, and I doubt he has a calling hand often enough to make this -EV. So yeah, only reservation (here Citanul might shoot me) is that the more you steal the less credit people will give you. NOTE: I am not saying "fold, keep your image tight so you can steal more later." I think the reward outweighs the risk and would say that, with your stack, this is one of those marginally successful situations you need to exploit.

Edit: and of course it's soooted

personally, i'm folding this - but pushing probably isn't wrong.

I push and I don't think it's all that close.

Unless BB is very loose or I've been pushing a lot, I insta-poosh this.

This is an instapush, with so many people in the game thats all the more reason to push this because how often from the SB are you going to get that chance to push and your stack is small enough.

If you fold you are giving away money. You absolutely MUST move allin here. This concept alone is probably more important than 90% of the stuff on this forum if people are still folding in this spot. It doesn't look like, such a bad thing to do, but in reality it's absolutely dreadful to not move allin here.

push with any two in this situation?

Typically yes, you will rarely find an opponent who calls enough to make it bad. However J6s actually has some value so this is really clear cut.

This is a dream situation. I don't think I could fold even 32o here.
