Low M late in a MTT - call push with 77?

[karlwig]

$1.20/45 PokerStars MTT. 13 left. Blinds 200/400, ante 25, but soon it will be 300/600. My table has 7 players, most of them (including myself) shortstacked (red zone).

UTG goes all-in for his last 2500 chips.

I pick up [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 at UTG+1. I have around 3000 chips left.

All-in or fold?

Can I really wait for a better spot? Has my hand, which at my current chip-situation should be fine, become weak, since I will have to call a UTG all-in bet? (indicates strenght, doesn't it?)

Thanks for comments on this, and sorry if the question seems obvious or stupid. I really didn't know what to do here.

Your M = 3
Villain M = 2.5

For me it depends on the read, most players at the $1 tournies are donkies waiting for good hands so have no regard for M. If he's a good player he could have any 2.

If u play u push.

Looks like you should'v made a move earler on tho.

Where they regard a good hand as A2o obv.

OP, try to put UTG on a range and plug it into PokerStove, based on reads or PT stats if you have those. Honestly I can't really say what a default range is in these buy-ins here...

Push by the time you get in good position to push at the blinds you won't have enough chips to push anyone out of the pot.

FOLD
UTG+1,M is low but average for your table.
You don't know who else is going to freak out after you and call behind you. Your position is not good to call.
