Re: Small blind, short stack, ITM
Push. The only position that you have significant FE is in the SB. If you concede this one your position three hands from now will be weaker. If you push, BB can call only if he is willing to swap places with you, chipwise.
JMO, and it's not an expert one. GG

Re: Small blind, short stack, ITM
I have to disagree with the other 2 replys. I would fold here. The "average" hand is Q7. You are WELL below that. Knowing that your "desperate" if the BB has any kind of a hand, you will get called and be way behind. You've got 2 more chances to get a better hand than 93o to make your stand with.

Re: Small blind, short stack, ITM
Push. This, to my thinking, is worth trying to steal when the button folds. If you get called, oh well.
The only question I would have is if the BB has been defending his blinds to this point. You should have a pretty good feel for his play in these situations by now and should know how to play this from your read.

Re: Small blind, short stack, ITM
Forgot to add this to my last reply. Here's a chart that was created that shows the expected value of every single hand against a "random hand"

A8 [/ QUOTE ] I don't think your hand is a consideration here (well, it is but it's not much). If BB is a good player, he won't call with "any kind of hand" like QJ or 22 simply because of his chip position. He's only got 2x more chips than hero, 1 double up will put him in the short stack. As someone said earlier, BB will only call if he's willing to switch chip positions with you.

Re: Small blind, short stack, ITM
If I was BB her and you pushed, I'd see it as an attempt to steal and I would put you all in unless I had a really bad hand.
