Pushing here is unexploitable, although for most ranges your edge is slight. I think pushing and folding here are both fine. Raising is no good -- if you get reraised you obviously have to fold, and if you get called you're lost on almost any flop where you don't hit a set.

I am not looking for the easiest way to play the hand I am looking for the best way. Obvioulsy pushing is unexploitable but I think this way may be better because I am often behind the reraisers range.

I usually open push. But in this case you may have just saved your tourney life by not pushing. Depends on how likely you think villains are to smoothcall a normal raise and/or play back against a normal raise wider than they would call a shove. If both those are low, a normal raise may make more sense than a shove.

crappy situation. running this thru sngpt, i would fold. its a very small edge plus you could have multiple callers

... i agree... however i raise to 250 and i think it makes a diff. esp. w/ these stacks.

also, stop playing so much poker and get better at shotgunning. there are several u of t people with a mission to put you in the hospital next weekend.

I agree with T about the raise to 250.

T, are you from Toronto too? When are we all gonna have a 2p2 meet up around here? (I might run a game during WPT Niagara at my house....)
