Stars $77 donk-a-lite, JJ close to the money
There were ~ 60 players left at this point and the top 45 got $215 seats in the 1 mil. Average stack was around 3375.
Villain was about 32/5 thru 19 hands at this table. I pushed over his open limp two hands prior to this and everyone folded. PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t150 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com UTG (t2555) UTG+1 (t6485) MP1 (t8855) Hero (t1760) CO (t2190) Button (t4842) SB (t1925) BB (t4000) Preflop: Hero is in MP2 with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, <font color="gray">UTG+1 folds</font>, MP1 calls t150, Hero ? Does any play other than pushing make sense? |

You're in a rare circumstance were 45th place is as good as 1st place.
still or maybe especially because of that fact you do not have enough chips to do anything but push. If you had more chips I would advocate a call/fold. with 1760 it's extremely iffy that you can blind your way to 1st place (45th). You will need a double up to give yourself a real chance and this looks like as good a situation to me as any to double up or steal some blinds and calls |

This is an easy shove like thunder said you're too short stacked to do anything else but shove with an open limper or raiser.

I'd shove. Bubbles in satellites can take ages, and there's a large chance you'd be blinded out.

Re: Stars $77 donk-a-lite, JJ close to the money
The only thing is, that you did say that you pushed over his limp before which makes it ever so slightly more likely that he is limp trapping you. If that is a legit concern then you actually can make it 600 and fold to a shove if you had to. (terrible? maybe...hmmm) As I am thinking about it, becuase it is a supersatellite paying 45, maybe you can just flat call and play a flop here?. eh...I guess pushing is better but why does it just feel too risky?
Maybe I am in one of those "dont feel like being either trapped by KK or getting called by a8ss and losing" kind of moods and I am not thinking straight, but I really feel for some reason that pushing is just too much risk in this structure. Or maybe I am not thinking straight lol. sheets |

Easy push, no way you can fold in at this point.
