Default Re: Beta \"Hellkat\" on party

Okay here's a very basic question:

Button: 9000
Hero: 7000
BB: 4000

Button stalls, making it the last hand.
Now if I fold I get 2nd place.
If I play the hand, there's no doubt the BB will go all in.
If I win, I get first.
If I lose, I get third.

So basically I would risk $10 (difference between 2nd and 3rd) to win $20 (difference between 1st and 2nd), which means I am getting 2 to 1.

According to Pokerstove, all hands except 42o and 32o are better than 33.3% to win in a showdown against a random hand.

So does that mean I can confidently push with hands like 53s and 72o in this spot?
