Push this shortstacked ITM?

[durron597]

For some reason I decided not to push this, though I often do. I think it was because the table was playing tight and I thought I would get a better spot.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (3 handed) converter

BB (t5535)
Hero (t2335)
SB (t5630)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

According to eastbay's program, unless one is a maniac under eastbay's categories, it's a clear push.

If one is a maniac, it becomes much closer. If both are maniacs, it's -EV.

Btw, how many orbits are left? IMO, those 600 chips would help your stack greatly.

I should really buy eastbay's program. No, I wouldn't consider either of these guys maniacs.

And this is on Stars, blinds go up every 5 minutes not every 10 hands.

Your thinking is backwaards, or do you mean the table was loose. Because this is a really easy push against tight opponents. I'd fold against looser players that will call with Kx,Qx and all kinds of funky hands here.

Clear fold for me.

Maniac setting on Eastbay is like 22+, A2+, K2+, Q9+, right?

If Villain's aren't calling that, they should not being playing poker. (well, I don't call that, but I suspect my opponents of often believing strongly in the reverse gap concept)
