$50+5: 3 left, A7s on button, M=3.6
Would appreciate your approach to this situation. Party $55 SNG. Down to final three.
SB T680 BB T6510 Hero T2210 Blinds just went up to 200/400. BB has made some marginal calls. Hero gets A7s. Correct play? |

Push it. A7s is a great hand to open with 3-handed. Folding would mean you're looking to sneak into 2nd with almost no shot at 1st, and thats not what you want.
My guess is you pushed, SB folded and BB called you with QJ or something and won. |

M, this, M, that. Blah [censored]ing blah. It's a push, obviously. I can tell that without doing a single ICM calc or giving a flying [censored] what M has to say about it.

Raise to 2000. Fold to a push.

Hero pushed to try to win the tournament. |

[/ QUOTE ] With blinds at 200/400 Hero's got some wiggle room, he's got less than 20% of his stack in next hand (unless you're referring to the raise 2000 and fold to a push idea, which I hope was posted sarcastically since it's clearly insane). Moreover, he'll have shorty effectively all-in the hand after that, with basically a 50-50 chance of knocking him out (probably more, since big stack may take him out some of the time). It's far from a great position, since shorty could just as easily double up and make it back into a battle for 2nd, but it's not quite bad enough to make pushing A7s correct against a villain who's known to make marginal calls. |

Easy push, too lazy to do any calculations but I am almost postive that it is +$EV, regardless of the BBs range. As a general rule, I almost never play for 2nd. I can remember maybe 2 or 3 times in my career when I have.
