How's this push? (Party $11)

I don't think this is good. Blinds aren't going up for another 5 hands so I can make it through the blinds and still have some FE for a few hands. I guess at the time things felt semi-urgent since I am clearly the short stack of the table and everyone else is in at least okay shape for a while.

I don't like it.

I think this push is marginal, and could likely go either way. FWIW, I still fold here with that many hands left until a blind raise (especially with the new blind structure), and this many players left in the game.

Ugh... Q-10 offsuit? I can't see it. Seems like you'd mostly get callers who would have better hands, either a pocket pair or something better, like A-10, AK, QQ, etc...

Maybe I'm more patient than some, but you still have 6x the BB and six players left at the table. Still plenty of time to make a move with a stronger hand and hope to double or triple up. Pushing with Q-10o just seems like a desperation move you don't need to make yet...

The reasons you just cite, make this a little more compelling to push.

Edit: I should clarify. QQ+, AT+. Not many hands. Less than 4% probability.

I'd fold depending on how early in L4 it was.

Unless your name is Robert Varkonyi. Fold Q10 off suit and wait for a better hand.
