I had been playing tight without pushing at all except for the one hand sometime ago where I showed the best hand post flop.

After passing up 2 other scenarios such as the one below, I decide to push.

BB had been playing in such a way like raising minimum and folding to someone doubling his bet pre flop. Strangely cautious like that in some ways. In others he was pushing the smaller stacks around a bit so he had some fight in him.

The other players didn't seem too excited to lose in 4th and were all around not terrible.

Jeembo Folds

There's really a tournament called Nitro Extreme? Wtf? Is it sponsored by Mountain Dew?

i think it's a bad push. a loose $10 player might call you with a wide range of hands. unless you're really, really sure he'll fold, i think you should let this go and wait till shorty busts before doing your pushes.
