A8o ITM - Push or fold?

[Austiger]

1k/2k 100a. Can I be patient here and wait another orbit to try this? I've pushed about 4-5 times the last 45 min. or so and been called once and won AK>KQ.

I push here everytime, but I would like someone else to verify that this is correct. I've seen this get called by worse hands many times.

Thanks, never seen that. I think the ranges are a little loose for what they represent, but it still shows this hand is clearly a push.

well, the blinds are coming and they will take a large chunk of your stack, and you might not get a better hand than A 8 so a push here is ok, you want to win the tourny.
