My guess is that it is very close and if I were in the game my indecision would be tilted either way based on whatever knowledge I had on the players.

How will the blinds hit next hand? Won't Hero be in the BB?

The way the hand appears in the thread makes it confusing to me exactly what is going on....

I dunno, I'm thinking push but I'm still confused about what the exact situation is.

I think the hero will be the button again on the next hand with the chip leader in the SB and the short stack in the BB.

Then folding is good.

I think this is a fold. But I'm guessing if the SB weren't dead it would be a very slightly profitable push.

Am I the only one who is slightly less inclined to push a marginal holding on the first hand ITM? Seems like there are a lot of players that are relieved to be ITM and are much more willing to make a suspect call on the first ITM hand. Just thought, I have nothing to suport this theory whatsoever.

That's an interesting idea; haven't noticed it but I'll keep my eyes open.

I think ITM play in most situations, requires a change of gears. Your goals become radically different and you need to maximize your opportunities to move up the food chain.

That's not really true. You go from a 50/30/20/0 bubble to a 30/10/0 bubble, and the sort of "thank god I'm ITM calls" mentioned earlier are very bad ideas.

I'll go with fold on the curtains hand. Big stack will be quite loose, if you fold next hand shorty puts 1/3 of his stack in(I think, if I'm reading the HH wrong then never mind).

Yes, this is something I also take into consideration sometimes, however I would think that "loosening up because I made the money" mindset is more in lines of what smaller stacks are thinking than bigger stacks. I don't think big stack is really loosening up his calling ranges here much.
