I am having a disagreement with a friend about this hand. I would like to see what other have to say about the play of hero.

For me to comment on how you play a hand would be similar to the town-drunk/village idiot being asked to review this Sunday's sermon

But what if the sermon were on the evils of alcohol and the Rev. needed a technical advisor?

Who says I made the play?

[Phil Van Sexton]

I have an opinion. I like the push.

Small stack wont get the blinds for another 2 hands. Meanwhile, you'll have to post 600 out of your 2100. Unless you are the one to knock him out, you'll have 1500 left and an uphill battle to 1st.

He only has to win 1 hand to survive for another round. If he does that, you will be crippled while you wait.

I think Dali's situation is significantly different. He's under the gun and his stack is smaller in relation to his main opponents.

I wish I knew the texture of the $215 games better b/c I'm not sure my opinion on this hand will be of any use.

I would imagine that in a $215 only very upper echelon hands of the BB will call you here. However, if you've been pushing a lot I can see the SB calling you with a decently large range of hands hoping to catch you stealing and taking a huge chip lead on the field.

Hmmmmm....I was thinking push but now I'm not so sure. I'd probably fold and wait until ITM to duke it out.

I probably push here every time, however, the position of the stacks probably makes it slightly more profitable to fold. Put the short stack on the other side of the big stack, and you absolutely must push in this spot.
