Default $16 44 CO 5-handed, push 9bbs?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG (t1255)
Hero (t1420)
Button (t3590)
SB (t2300)
BB (t4935)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero?

This seemed like a pretty easy push, but SNGPT says the calling ranges have to be pretty tight for this to be a push (66+, ATs+, AJo+ is +.01%). Is it because we're 5-handed that this is so marginal?

You still have 3 to act. They could even call you with A5o and be flipping with you. You're the shortie and it's 5-handed so the range is going to be much wider. I'd fold.

I'd give it more consideration if I were on the Button, but I'd probably still fold there.

the reason isn't that there are five players left its that you are pushing into three players which is bad with 44

ship it in and dont even think twice. Your not on the bubble. There is meta game considerations too.

44 is too light imo but it's close. I'd probably push it from the button.

Under 10 bb 5 handed is a lot of pressure to find a hand to go with. This may be the best you get for a while. It's true that A5 is a coin flip, but who calls a big chunk of his stack with that unless desperate?

You need chips. Don't we want to race here for a shot to double up?

I push this, maybe its a leak but I can't assume im gonna get a better hand than 44 before the BB hits me again which I do not want.
