Gosh - I hate this coin-flip BS that inevitably seems to end so many of my tournaments.

Well - does everyone agree with this short-stack all-in here late in this thing????

I agree. Easy push.

[valenzuela]

Right push, Wrong cards.

[Maulik]

I would have pushed and after having a bad run of cards, I was questioning myself. I posted this last night.

2 Standard pushes

[Nottom]

It's pretty automatic at that point in the tourney.

In fact its so automatic I don't know why you posted it, at least have the guy call you with 62o or something so its a bad beat post.

[Texas Pete]

Easy push at that point, but the real question is, how did you get in that situation? What did you do the previous two hands? I see the big stack was to your left. However if it is folded to me in the SB i'm going for it anyway with any 2.

[lastchance]

Exactly.

The real question here is, are you pushing enough?

[zaphod]

The fact that you ask about this hand shows that you need to push more IMHO. This is an easy push.

The best ones go something like this: Level 3, you're in MP with AKs. Two people limp and you push for about 650 more and a guy in late position with nothing in the pot so far calls with pocket threes.

Either that or pushing with TT in a similar situation and getting called by KJo.

ding ding ding. good post. if you have to question pushing this hand, you probably arent pushing near enough hands. when the blinds get up there, you gotta be super agressive. 3uo
