Default To push or not to push?

EDIT: 1 Dollar Buyin 1000 added

UTG has been at the table less than 20 hands, been limping alot of garbage, like A2 utg and stuff worse than that. No one has pushed over the top of his limps tho so I dont know his reaction. UTG+1 I have been playing with for a long time and liked to limp alot and call my raises but has not called my pushes, on the last one he had 2:1 on the call and folded. Do you like a push here?


PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t6000 (8 handed) internettexasholdem.com

MP2 (t64728)
CO (t39578)
Hero (t37332)
SB (t129323)
BB (t43296)
UTG (t266504)
UTG+1 (t111329)
MP1 (t96159)

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t6000, UTG+1 calls t6000, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, Hero ?

Default Re: To push or not to push?

i dont like a push here at all, heres why:

Pot size = 6000 + t6000 + (8 x 300 for antes) + (3000 + 9000 for blinds) + (37 332 for Hero's push)

= 63 732

UTG or UTG+1 must call t31,322 (37,322 - 6,000) to win 63,732, giving either of them 2.04 : 1 odds to call.

You have basically no FE and I dont think a history of villain folding earlier getting 2:1 is sufficient enough reason to push here.

fold.
