    Default Folding just to make the money?

    Here is the situation, 1500 in the pot, I have 5.3k so my M is about 3.5. AQo UTG, table has been playing pretty normally. My rank is about 30/40 and 36 makes ITM which is about $80. If I fold I will have about 4k, . If I steal I will have about 5.5k, if someone outside the blinds doubles me up I will have about 11k, all after the blinds.AI, 3-4x or fold. They have seen me raising and calling with AJ and AK EP.

    I wouldnt even consider folding if this wasnt so close ITM.

    All In, nightmare having the huge stack on your left there, imagine it must have been very difficult to find any chances to steal in LP leading up to this, hence your short stack.

    If you care this much about ITM, you should probably play cheaper tourneys.

    Push.

    Whoever said raise should be killed.

    why would you not think about pushing here? :P
    (i'm just fed up of idiots calling with crap outta the blinds when they have no odds/not enough stack etc and nailing crap. still... it will turn)

    Arkana, POTD! I was laughing out loud when I saw the pic

    I wasnt really considering folding, honestly

    Where would you guys draw the line of pushing. 33 or TT, A4 or AJ?

    66+, AJ+, KQs (<--- if the table is super tight. I like KQs these days).
