I don't think that's the best case at all. Realistic best case would be against a smaller PP from CO and say A7s from SB. Hell, you've got a smidge of FE from CO.

I like a push here. If you lose it you're still in a great spot with second stack.

Shove this, we're still fine if we lose and we're in great shape if we win. I'm probably not shoving much smaller than this though.

I shove, I think we have good equity against their ranges.

can someone else chime in here?

fold

if you shove-

you have zero fold equity - co is getting something like 4 to one on six big blinds.

and almost all of the time someone at this level makes a rediculous standard raise w/ a short stack its a strong hand.

and to say "you have enough chips, so g'head"- imo, is very poor. calling off 25% of your chips because you have them seems like a bad reason.

i think the only scenario you have good equity in here is an underpair and two overcards.

i like a shove here against one short stack, not both.

if im wrong, can someone explain why. thanks.

I think i fold 77 here, and easily shoving 99 88 is close but i think i get it in.
