fold, your gonna be losing 100% and will need to catch a miracle 10

be the 1st one to push in the next few hands...you'll have a better chance of doubling up against one person rather than 2

sorry, but that is just horrible advice to give.
We have 5,5 bbs and if the initial raiser folds we will have a lot of dead money in the pot too!

To say his range has us crushed 100% of the times is just plain wrong, and besides we do not have the luxury to wait for a better spot.
Even if we push atc next time it is folded to us we have very little FE, and if we win this hand we give ourselves a great chance to make a comeback.

i'd push if it was me

but i'm assuming OP is pretty tight (since he's asking if he should push)

but i'm just givin him a different view on the situation...everything dicates a push...but i'm just lettin him know that he's gonna be behind 99/100 times [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

facing a raise and a re-raise you tens may not be good but even if they are you are probably coinflipping. You are getting better than 2:1. However, you are severely short-stacked so you are ALL-IN here.
