This is an easy call. BB could be pushing a wide range of hands here. He could be on tilt from losing an earlier pot. You don't have to worry about position, future bets, etc.

You're not closing the action though jay, if you call the SB with his stack is going to come along a lot of the time at this level, and then you're stuck with a big chunk of your stack in the middle OOP. I'm pushing over the top with the dead money in the middle.

My bad. I misread the hand. I'm pushing here as well.

I like the isolation play too.

Button and SB have not shown strength, but for a relatively cheap call with their stacks they may just do it. I think the push is a relatively low risk play at this point as hero showed strength, was RRAI by the shorty, and then with a Push is saying that he is not afraid of the reraise. Button / SB will have to have a VERY strong hand to make this call and as they only called previous, this seems very unlikely.
