Default $1.20: TT on bubble

There wasn't any real short stack on the table so anyone out of the 4 could have been eliminated. The blinds had got to the point where it was either push/fold. Just wanna make sure this is a standard line:

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (4 handed)

CO (t5308)
Hero (t2055)
SB (t3684)
BB (t2453)

Preflop: Hero is in Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
CO calls t400, <font color="red">Hero raises to t2030 (All-in)</font>, <font color="gray">SB folds</font>, <font color="gray">BB folds</font>, CO calls t1630

I wish someone would actually answer this one... personally I'd be a little scard to go all in with TT.. but then again I don't have a good feel for 4 handed.

I think this is a really easy push. Of course, I'm not exactly an expert, so wait for some others to confirm this.

I'd definitely like to hear what factors others consider here. Looking strictly at the numbers I think a push is correct given a couple of factors:

1. Big stack is limping and we think he can fold getting 2:1.

2. If we don't think he can fold then he must be limping very wide to push.

My question is, if we think that pushing is slightly -ev should we still take it? Consider that we are shoving into the big stack if we decide to push the next hand.

In the moment I would definitely push here unless his limp seems very weird.

man, I gotta start rading more carefully. My comment before was without noting the limp.

Like Jay said, if the limp seems really out of place, you have to consider whether he's trying to drum up action with a high pair. Still, this is 95% a shove.

Darin,

easy based solely on ICM, or because its the best spot we're going to get being the shorty?
