Randy

I'm posting this hand for Ranna. This is late in the tournament. The SB is a huge stack and pushing all-in every other hand. There are several stacks shorter than her, but the blinds are getting huge and will be going up soon.. Also, there is a few other 30k stacks on the other table, but this table has the chipleader and the shorties..

Is this a push hand? Ranna asked me about it and I said I wasn't sure, but felt that a fold wasn't bad since there are enough shorter stacks.. The more I've thought about it I'm not sure..

Edit: I don't like the way this hand was converted.. Just fyi- Ranna could have pushed into the blinds here..

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

This isn't a satellite yet, is i?

Easy push, if you push SB is folding.

Why aren't we pushing this, again?

EDIT: Like, you know, we're playing for the big money, right? And we're already ITM, right? So, like, push, because, you know, we want chips and we have a monster.

Guys, it IS a satellite. Check the main forum.

I think 99 may be a push here but I guess you better check with Linux.

Ranna

The reason I decided not to push is because we were in the money, but the money was only $12. When 3 more people get knocked out of the tourney, I have my $215 seat into the Sunday million. I considered pushing because I was not sure if I had accumulated enough chips to make it without having to risk my chips again and this was a decent push hand. On the other hand, I would be pushing into the 300k chip guy's small blind. Even if he calls me and loses, he is easily getting a seat. I saw a few people push into him in some earlier hands and he was an instacaller. I chose to fold and I got a seat, but I still don't know what the correct move is.

I agree with Ranna... You are that close to a ticket why take a chance.

Yes we are in the money but ticket is not guaranteed.

Congrats on the ticket Ranna

The fact that it was a satellite changes everything, obv.

Insufficient information. How many people left? What's our position? When are the blinds increasing? Finally, I don't understand the action. Are you asking whether you should call or not? This is obviously a clear no-call. Regarding pushing, it depends on whether the blinds are passing the short stacks or not. I think it's a fold, but the action is really confusing (I can't tell who the button is).

I think the question was whether to push originally. Ranna's in MP with 99, and apparently folded. Then SB pushed when it was folded to him.

Ok, it's clear. The blinds are going to pass through BB and UTG, so this is a fold IMO. Also, considering that there's a loose stack wanting to call all-ins. Your stack pretty much has very little FE against big stacks at this point.
