Correct push with <3BB?

Thanks for any advice!

I think you're confused about how many BB you have in each spot.

I fold 1-3, push the 4th.

[nyc999]

First, you are determining BB's incorrectly. A BB is the size of the big blind.

1. Fold. You actually have 12BB and can wait for a better spot.

2. Fold. An EP Raiser and a mediocre hand. Find a spot to get in the chips before anyone else.

3. No. Again, you have 10BB and are not in trouble. I would raise good hands 2.5-3.5 BB, and fold everything else.

4. Borderline Push IMO w/6BB. I think an argument could probably be made either way, and it would be read-dependant for me.

sorry guys, I know what a bb is, i was just quickly looking at the "50/100" and "100/200" near the beginning of the hand history and thinking that was the small and big blind sizes when it now occurs to me that it is the min bet size for the first two rounds of betting and the min bet size for the second two rounds (?). thanks for the responses, i will have another look at these hands.
