(27) A9o: overpush to isolate?

[billxo1b]

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (4 handed)

CO (t5500)
BTN (t850)
Hero (t2000)
BB (t5150)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
CO folds, BTN pushes, Hero ?

what if Hero has more chips (say hero t3000 and CO t4500)?

I like it.

You have to fold here.

Why would you seek a confrontation, where the best you can hope for is a 55/45 situation?

Not to say if BB actually wakes up with a hand.

[MikeMcQ1]

Easy push IMO.

You are more likely to actually be a favorit here.

is it so bad that I call and check down with BB? or call and push any flop, or call preflop and call any bets from BB afterwards?

[BHokie1]

I push

If you win you are itm with a decent stack, if you lose you still have 3bbs, if BB wakes up with a hand - button needs to win a 3 way.

The only good thing about folding to me would be if BB is sure to call, and hope he bust the button, and if he doesn't you are then one of two short stacks.

Calling would be bad.

Push>fold>call IMO.

Yes, but are you that enough to make the push +EV?

that's the question.

[billxo1b]

The purpose of calling is of course to collaborate with BB to bust the button.

I dont think folding is an option here

[darom03]

Oh, I misread the hand, thinking the blinds were smaller.

yes def. push here.
