    Default Pokerstars $15+1: A10 Bubble

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t800 (4 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    Hero (t3395)
    BB (t2060)
    UTG (t3255)
    Button (t4790)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, T.
    1 fold, Button raises to t1600

    Hero????

    Ok I plugged this into PowerTools as the Button all-in and me having to call and it was very very negative $EV, -4.7%, on a loose pushing range...which he was on.

    I assumed that if I push over him he probably has to call...but does he? If he might fold than I can't treat this like he is all-in and I have to call him. Which makes the ICM results invalid.

    If he has been push stealing then the min-raise should set off alarm bells.

    BB has <3 BB he has to call this no matter what you do - if you push then Button certainly has odds to call you both, and covers you.

    Easy fold. I'm not even sure you can push this with TT-QQ. Maybe AKs.

    I'd fold here and hope BB busts.

    easy fold, you're usually beat and you aren't starving for chips.

    Ok yeah. I didn't mind it if I was the last person to act. I'd call if everyone else folded.

    But with the BB probably in no matter what, I didn't want a situation where I may lose the side and main pot.

    zenbits: I think the correct calling range was JJ+. So yeah easy fold, but it was a tough fold to me before I crunched some numbers later.
