$5.50 PS: In game someone criticized my move then wouldn't elaborate

[big_d_awg]

Sorry this is long. I had only played in 3 hands prior to this. 1st hand AK doubled up. 2nd hand is a massive dumb ass move because I haven't been attacking enough lately get knocked down to 250. 3rd hand AK raises me to 750. This is the next hand after AK.

Let's forget 2nd hand. I was a dummy. Let's say I got to this point legitimately. Was it an awful move? I think it was correct. Please tell me what yall think.

Very easy push, it's not close.

insta push

You have no choice. Push. And don't let comments from others at the table get you riled up.

[big_d_awg]

I don't mind opinions if then they are willing to go on further but the guy told me to go play some free rolls and come back when I was better.

[BraveInca]

Its amazing what people will say about an open push.

I was down to about 4BB a couple of weeks ago and open pushed with Q8s from MP. Flop came QQ8 and after the hand this guy (who wasn't even in the hand) went mental - "he went all-in with Q8, what an idiot" yada yada. Kept it up for ages.

When people at your table criticise a blatantly +EV move then it just adds to the +EV ness.

Isn't that funny this guy wasn't in the game either.

clear push here.

[apefish]

Easy and clear push. Next time politely ask him to send you an autographed copy of his book "How I made a million dollars railing $5 sit and gos".

[fallen]

I think with the blinds so high compared to your chip stack you have no choice but to push here. You may not get a better chance &amp; it's very unlikely that you can fold into the money here.
