Default ATo, ITM - Push/Fold? ($6)

Here's the quandry - 3rd place $$ is double 4th.

************************************************** ****
Game Started on Thu Feb 22, 2007 @ 10:07
Blinds are 250/500
SB ~ 14000 posts small blind 250
BB ~ 2000 posts big blind 500 (so has about 1500 after posting)
Hero 4557
Button ~ 9500

Hero is dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="red">Hero? </font>

Neither big stack is noticeably bad. My notes on BB say "tight n' passive."

I have pushed about once every 2 orbits since it got to about 5-6 handed and no one really wanted to get involved.

I figure if a big stack calls, I'm probably behind, but they might show a medium pp. If BB calls and is way ahead, so be it, but I wouldn't be SHOCKED if he showed something like KQo to AT either.

9BB and a good hand 4 handed? I push. The difference between 3rd and 4th place is likely nothing compared the difference between 3rd and 4th place.

I suppose that should be "Between 3rd and 1st place"

Push and expect to get looked up by BB, there is no way you can fold this

your about to get hit by the blinds and you wake up with AT? Sounds good to me. like a typical friday night date for me..."I can push with alot worse"
