Im pushing here. You have an M of around 4, the guy in the cutoff could be stealing and wont really want to call half of his chips with a coin flip. Evry1 folds u add 25% to stack. For me its a push but if ure looking to survive then maybe a fold. A call is horrible here. All In or Fold depending on your style and your ambitions in the tourny.

You need to push here. You have less than 10 big blinds, and the raise comes from late position. You might have fold equity. Probably you dont though, but you don't mind flipping for a larger stack here.

And villain could easily have hands you are 70% or 20% against.

TYVM! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I did in fact push and lose to As6d. 5's paired on the board. The A came on the turn. I was not at all unhappy. I felt like I had made the right decision. I was a 71% favorite and I induced the other player to make a mistake. It was great. I made a little bit of money but I had alot of fun.

I think your play was fine, standard for this situation. folding is out of the question, and calling puts makes the pot 60K, and you've got roughly 71K after a call. Push and see 5 cards.

Although, if you want to get some FPS going, you could call, and push any flop. You can't think about hindsight, but he didn't spike the A until the turn, so a stop/go could have won you the hand.

I would of pushed here hoping to take it down and would of been happy to get called by A6 starting off with a good lead. You just didn't get the cards but it was a good time to make a move and increase your stack.
