Re: AJ in the SB, middle of a MTT - Vote!
I think those of you saying push may be overestimating Hero's FE sligtly here. First guy I think you have some against, but he's opening from MP, not LP, so it's not quite as much as normal...and he's fairly deep, so he could call us a little thin if he wanted to. But the Button called the first raise for 1/3 of his stack with only ~2k more behind, so if you push and MP folds, Button will be looking at like 2.5:1 for the rest of his stack, and he will call fairly often.
I don't think pushing is necessarily bad. Synbad makes a good point about Button's range that I generally agree with, I don't think we're in terrible shape against his range even if he calls our push with a lot of it. And we should have a fair bit of FE against the MP opener as well.
It's definitely really close to a push if it's not one, as I think the results of the poll indicate.
