PS $5.50 10bb TPTK, if not push then?!?!

[Beerocrat]

I got some criticism of this by a friend who is more experienced than I. I guess I have trouble on the bubble when I am ~10BB. If a push is not correct here, what is?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t5960)
Button (t3240)
SB (t2510)
Hero (t1790)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="gray">CO folds</font>, Button calls t200, SB calls t100, Hero checks

Flop: (t600) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero...

i just shove here. theres a billion cards you don't want to see on the turn.

[Beerocrat]

Thanks for the response Kool Aid. I pushed and got called by 65D. Unbelievably I didn't get beat by the 7 or a diamond, but by 5 on the turn followed by 6 on the river. He had reasonable odds to call I suppose, but I wouldn't have called the same on the bubble.

You could try check-pushing. I don't see leading out and not pushing.

Oh, and you could push preflop too, depending on table.

i shove preflop, youre crushing their limping ranges here and ill take the 400+ in the pot without a fight

[Beerocrat]

Good point AMT. I get very tight on the bubble, but with shortstack this makes more sense.

[DaN_05]

I'd push PF probably, slightly read dependant on BTN limper tho. But yeah I'd be shoving that flop all day.

Shove preflop, shove flop.
