Default 24 turbo: Short on chips 6-handed with a low pair facing donkbet

My standard play has been to fold here, but yesterday I pushed. I obviously have no FE, but I had a note on villain being a total donk. According to SNGPT if he's pushing 33+,A4+,KQ+ calling is neutral EV. He might in fact have a larger range.

Another factor is of course that two people are left to act, amongst them BB who is getting good odds. I don't think he will call very loose though.

But I should probably continue folding right?

Full Tilt Poker

Stack sizes:
UTG: t1275
UTG+1: t2340

BB: t3425

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I'd push. UG should be pushing incredibly wide here and you have a bit of FE over the blinds. You will be the chip leader if you win this hand.

Now, this is an interesting hand. I have not run the numbers so I trust you.

In game, I'm sure I fold but :
- you have only 3BB left
- you will have to pick some sort of hands in the next 3 to stay alive
- with the blinds coming, his range is probably huge, probably including hands like A2, 98 or Q7.

So if your SNGPT range is correct, I really like the call.
