I would push with any two here, cards are secondary. I have been questioning my play in this type of scenario and would like some other peoples thoughts on this
Of your choices I think I would prefer 9 10s or Q 3s to go allin with

I don't have all the answers. And I'm still learning how to apply this math stuff right, so maybe this is a way to think about it.

If you push your 1230 chips in the middle, and there's already 600 chips in the pot, the BB is calling 800 chips into an 1830 pot. That's 2.28:1 Pot Odds. Which suggests you should push the top 44% of hands. Which makes the Q3s marginal, and the 93s a fold.

Unfortunately, this analysis doesn't take FE into question. There is some FE against both the SB and BB. This is why I think OP would find this an interesting post, if he just has the balls to do it.

I wouldn't push 93s here unless the blinds were making a lot of soft folds I might well push it if I had 2000 in chips in the same spot though.

Correct Mack, with 2000 chips, assuming BB will look at calling this hands from purely a pot odds standpoint, the math says pushing with any two is correct, assuming you're using pot odds as the sole reason for this decision.

It could also be correct from an FE standpoint as well.

Could someone please explain the concept of fold equity and how it applies here?

Thank you.
