Default 11k Guarantee 6 left (AT in Cut off)

Okay there is a pretty big pay difference between 5th and 6th (about $250) but I am still playing to win. Big stack has been pretty aggressive when opening but not calling very many raises. Whats my line here?

Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Tournament
Blinds: t3000/t6000
(Ante: t750)
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: t88268
UTG+1: t100754
Hero: t93127
Button: t120823
SB: t440542
BB: t44486

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is CO with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
2 folds, Hero????

The SB and BB are probably looking for any reason to push given their stack sizes.

With that said your only real obstacle is the button who probably doesn't want to tangle too much with your stack.

I raise around 15k and get out of the buttons way if he raises and call shoves from either of the blinds.

Those are my instincts, someone can probably do some math'ish type things with one of the calculators.

Raise to 15-18k. I think you are a little to deep for a push.

Raise to 15k (which would be my standard). Pushing is terrible IMO.

I agree with raising to 15k-18k and folding to a button/sb push. Unless they're really aggro in which case i would raise and call a push.

When you convert the antes the blinds are 4500/9000. So you have 10BB.
Thus an easy push especially since the player most likely to call you is the smallest stack.

I'd push. You're red zoned and picking the blinds here isn't a bad situation at all.
