i think BB has to be calling over 40% for pushing to be neg EV. i had to give the button a few extra chips to get sngpt to wok. i'd go ahead and push.

had a hard time with this hand for two reasons.
one being that if i fold im basically itm for certain.
the other being that bb was pretty much a donk and i felt like this was a great spot to accumulate some chips. if he calls (im obv ahead of his callin range) and i take it down i feel like im having a really good shot at first.
the fact that hes a donk thus more likely to call kind of sucks on the other hand cause with shorty being THAT short i really dont wanna go like 60/40 for my money. hmmmm any more thoughts?

I'd shove here unless the BB calls very wide.
