$15 5BBs facing push holding 55
 

Second-shortest with 1045. Call here, or fold and push ATC before the blinds wipe me out?

Villain hasn't shown down any hands I recall.

Without knowing villain's push range I'd say folding is prudent.

ez fold when u still got enough to make +ev shoves

Re: $15 5BBs facing push holding 55
 

Fold, he'd have to be pushing very wide for me to call here, and I'm not pushing ATC after this hand just because the blinds are about to hit us either.

I'd prolly call with antes.

Re: $15 5BBs facing push holding 55
 

Definitley fold.

Really? I feel like I'm dead if I don't push, surrender my blinds (assuming I don't pick up anything) and let my stack dwindle to 775.

Everyone else who said fold, what's your course of action for the rest of the SNG?

Re: $15 5BBs facing push holding 55
 

This is an easy fold. My plan for the rest of the sng is probably to push any two after I take the blinds if given the chance in the sb, button, and most hands in the co as well as play any good hand I pick up.

Pushing atc from early position is obviously bad.

OK, sounds like consensus here. I did call on the actual hand and the vil had 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], which I found bizarre for something who had been tight in the early game.
