I know Id push this but I'd be interested to see what other people say. Eating those blinds the next 2 handswont eliminate your FE but it will put you in a bad spot in my opinion.

I'd push this. I think everyone's calling range doesn't have to be that tight for this call to be profitable. If on average you expect to get called by 66+,A8+ this is definitely an +EV push. If KJ+, KTs+,QJs+, A5+ start calling it's becomes much closer IMO. Depends also on how loose the bigger stacks are. You also don't have enough to outlast both SB and button, so I don't mind gambling in this spot.

Push. You need to gamble here. Still, getting called sucks, and if you're getting called enough here, I may fold this, but not likely.

So basically, push, expect to get called and hope my hand holds up. MP most likely has a huge range as a $1k hit in chips is not that damaging to him at this point.

Well, if you expect to get called, don't push. But it's a signifigant possiblity.

Push, and pray you don't get called. If you get called, then hope your hand holds up.

Is it +EV for villian to call w/ any 2 here?

If it is, do I still push?

1, it isn't, and it's not close. There's no way MP should be calling any 2. 2, if MP calls with any 2, I am really tempted to fold, but you still need chips.

If MP calls any 2, this is a far different problem than normal.
