Who pushes here?

[Dallara]

Do you like a push here? The two big stacks have been limping most pots, impacting my already low FE. BB is in that position where he almost has to call, but I don't want to steal from the big stacks and the blinds take half my stack on the next round.

Me.

This might be your last chance to steal, and while BB is very likely to call, I think pushing is reasonable. I think it's a tough choice, but you are clearly in desperation mode.

In a spot like this, I'm usually happier seeing short stack in the BB than a big one.

Agreed. Unless he has less than 2xBB (350, for example), I see short stacks lay these down all the time.

I like it.

Good point. So, I guess the ideal candidate to steal from would be a mid-range stack (t1000-1500). Maybe that's an obvious point. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
