Blinds: t200/t400

Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t1260
UTG+1: t3230
MP1: t1850
MP2: t2360
CO: t2020
Button: t2150
Hero: t2500
BB: t4630

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises all-in t1260</font>, 5 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in t2300</font>

He is a regular/slight winner and should know that he has to push many hands. Should I wait for a better spot or is this a clear call.

I was just thinking that it's not worth the risk, because if we loose we have 3 BB's which would put us into a tough spot.

Ideas?

I shove here, even if you only have him pushing 25% here KQ is still a shove.

gross, instafold.

KQ is greatly overrated, get sngwiz trial.

My bad, push is good.

Don't quite understand why though, as I would't want to get involved with any ace and that's the biggest part of his range at 25%.

Because of all the dead chips. It'll cost ~1k chips to win ~1.8k chips (more if there are antes here, are there?).

i would shove this also. I think that your going to have to take some risk now beings a billion people are still in the thing, and if you shove/win you will have a stack that can abuse the rest of the table non stop.

Looks good. Blinds are monsterous with 8 players left. Some people push very widely UTG with that short of a stack. Your alternative is waiting for the first chance to open push almost any two cards without a lot of FE.
