280 left pays 180. Is this standard?. I've been sucking lately at MTT's. Is an open raise better here?

looks fine...don't open raise with your stack...pick hands and apply max pre pressure

I'm leaning towards PFR of 1k to 1.2k here, then eval flop. You may have position if CO &amp; Button folds and you get a call from the blinds...

Antes make this fine.

If table has been playing ultra tight this is an easy +EV push, if table is calling loose to "all in" bets it's borderline to -EV. Rasing is not an option IMO, this is easily a push or fold with an M of 5.6.

You are in this icky spot of 14BB's. Open-raising to 2.5-3x seems &lt; pushing with the antes in the pot. I think the pot is big enough to merit a push here.

[BrandiFan]

unless both you and your table have been playing really tightly, I don't like this. From my limited experience of low limit tilt games, they seem a little more willing to cold call you here with weak aces and KQ. I don't know the ev numbers, but I think you can find a better spot. I muck KJ here.

[/ QUOTE ]Huh? Either his open raise is fine or he shouldn't open raise...

Don't be a nit, he obviously means push or fold.
