$105+9. Do you absolutely have to push here on button?

Hi this is a $105+9. My friend and I disagreed on if you had to push here or if this could have been play any other way than push. Thanks

2 players have been willing to play a few hands, but not overly LAG.

Blinds 2/400 25a

Hero T2895
SB T2160
BB T8445

Hero is on BUTTON with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Move?

Nope, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do.

But, pushing is the best option.

No. Calling sucks. Raising to 1000 or 1200 sucks. Pushing is best.

Obvious push

I would not push here.
the BB is about 4 to 1 chip lead over you. if he has almost any ace he's ahead, not to mention good pairs.
you're not on the bubble anymore and you have enough chips to wait for a better hand. i'd like to have at least A9s if i'm pushing from the button here.
maybe raise and try and outplay them, but i don't like the all-in move as it shows you're too scared to play the hand and just want to end it.

Do you suggest raising to 1200 and calling on any flop since you're pot committing yourself?

i guess, if you think you can outplay them.
but like i said, i'd fold this hand pre-flop
