$11 PP bubble push
 

How is this play? Good? Terrible? I'm relatively new to the SNG game so I don't know whether it's better to wait for CO to bust or to play it more aggressively. Thanks.

PartyPoker Regular Tournament, Big Blind is t400 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t1239)
Button (t7381)
Hero (t3070)
BB (t8310)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

That should be, "raises to 3070 (all in)". I don't know what's up with that.

Re: $11 PP bubble push
 

I would push here mainly because there's no guarantee that CO won't double up. Also I've noticed some players will fold until they are literally all-in on the blind so you can't be sure he'll go all-in on the next hand.
Depending on the type of player BB is he may not call here. He's in a good position chip wise &amp; if he doubles you up now with a rubbish hand he's made you alot stronger &amp; himself alot weaker.

***Disclaimer***
I'm just as new as you I would think so my advice is probably not worth that much yet.

Easy push man, very standard, keep it up.

Yes, good push. The shortass makes this VERY unpleasant when KT calls and busts you, but you have to grit your teeth and do it.

Definately push. Shortie isn't short enough.

Only way I'm folding is if shorty is under 400 chips.

Do what I do and bitch and moan like a little pussy and get laughed at by the people you live with.

If KT calls it might be a bad push, I don't know.

I see, thanks all.

So there IS a point where the short stack is so likely to bust that I shouldn't push the two sevens? Give 900 of his chips to the Button so that he has only 300 chips left. Do I have a very clear fold then?

You could probably safely fold if he had like 600 &amp; was about to get blinded next hand.

Re: $11 PP bubble push
 

Fold. You're not desperate with your current stack, and your pushing into a big stack which will call you with a pretty big range that will result in a coin flip majority of the time. If there wasn't a short stack in this about to enter the blinds, then the push would be good.

You're giving up way too much EV by folding. Not only that but you can't guarantee the shortie will bust.
