Friggin JT/T9

22s. I find myself in this spot a lot, "should I push with T9/JT?" In this case it's T9...

I'd be pushing here with 26os as long as the BB is tight enough.

T9/JT are good enough to push here based on hand value alone.

I was going to say that you should push if you haven't pushed in your last few SBs, but I don't think I'd push this unless you have been very tight the entire tournament.

Things that could change my mind would be if:
1) blinds will be going up before they hit you again.
2) BB is known to be a very tight caller.
3) As mentioned above, if you haven't pushed your SB yet, you could do it here..=

I've been pushing for a while...I got a leg chopped off by a LAG who rivered in L1. With that said:

Normally in this spot if I'd not been pushing I'd push w/ a lot less. With T9 and JT I actually have some value, so I am not too worried about a call. This is the mindset I am questioning...

generally speaking, this is important. here i don't think it's very important. Even at the current levels a round of blinds is 1/2 his stack. he's under pressure to get his money in before the blinds come around again, if they increase OR if they don't.

without running any numbers, i would guess that a push is better than a fold unless you have reason to believe that BB would call with less than an excellent hand.

I'd be pushing here with one card as long as the BB isn't insanely loose and nobody else knows the computer somehow dealt me only one card.
