There's 1100 in the pot that is going to be transfered either back to shorty or to one of the two blinds (whichever calls). After that happens - no matter who the chips go to - we're still really screwed with our 3BB stack and either 5 or 4 players still in.

For the people saying fold what exactly is your future plan?

I used the wrong blind level (something didn't seem right). Pushing figures to be +EV. FWIW I put the OG on 50% and the BB on 40% and this would be just about the bottom of my range.

I'd push because if I ended up winning that SnG, I could maybe pay a mechanic to fix my car.

sheets,

i think this is a pretty clear push. too many dead and near dead chips in there, too short of a stack to be doing anything else.

jackaaron,

try to keep the moronic posts to a minimum. they won't be tolerated. "omg it's high stakes." yeah we get it.

jackaaron,

thanks for your contribution to the thread.

Sheets,

Pretty clear push IMO, and I don't see how he is shoving less than 70-80% here with 1bb left. It could matter how he lost his stack but I'm assuming it was recent and that his shoving range is ridiculously wide. Also, this isnt the bubble so busting out now isnt as costly to you as opposed to being on the bubble. Go for it.

Would trader not be better off to wait if he had a bottom 40% hand and take the chance he'd get an average hand or better on next hand though?

Looks like a shove. Yes, you have pretty much no FE with the BB, but your hand does well 3way.

With the antes eating up 5+% of his stack he needs to get in as soon as possible.

Sheets,
was the shorty crippled the hand before?
