Can you/SHOULD YOU fold it?

[Bet-and-win88]

His M is almost 2 and he's deep in the red zone. If he is a decent player his pushing range is huge and you should be a solid favorit. You're also in the red zone and you have to find a very very good spot if you fold AQs here.
In HoH III is a similar example.
So push and don't think twice about it.

You have ~5BB, play to win I am pushing this against even the tightest of rocks.

[/ QUOTE ] - Agreed!

The EV of more chips has to be included in the $EV also. Also, why can't he hav AQ or someother hand like AJ/AT.

He has 3.5BB and will have to post 1.5BB in next 2 hands.

Also, I'm not sure if you mentioned this point or not but what was the dollar amount on the buy in? If it was a low buy in, then yeah, you probably do have to call. Though I hate to stereotype just because it is a lower buy in, it is something to consider. If it is a $5 tournament, then AQ is going to be the best hand in this spot more often than it would in say a $100+ buy in tournament. Though this may not necessarily be true in all cases, I feel that it is something to think about.

Yes, I deliberately did not mention this as I felt it would unfairly skew people's opinions, as this was only a $10+$1 MTT. However, it's a special/private MTT so the standard is many many times higher than your regular $10 donkament...

[/ QUOTE ]Doesn't this (and/or the higher buy-in) push us more towards shoving over the top? The better the player initial raiser is, the wider his range is going to be in this spot, IMO.

Oh, and unless the other table has all the chips, this structure sucks.

Is this a legitimate range for villain? He is pushing sixes but only AK?

I find it really hard to believe that villain's pushing range is AK/66+ with 3.5 bb and he's about to be in the blinds again in a 10 dollar tourney. I'd instant push.
