    The pusher's stack had just been lost in the last hand due to a bad beat, so I'm sure AQo is a favorite.

    Would you call here, push, or fold?

    ugg. Button or later I probably call or even push. Up here I think it's a fold. Worst case the guy picks up the blinds, it's no biggie. Even if he was pushing with anything you're not a huge favorite.

    This is key.

    I fold, the chips just aren't worth it at this point.

    Perfect Summary.

    In a best case scenario, you're like 2-1, and MAYBE way behind. The problem here isn't your hand, but your position. Let's say you raise to isolate... What do you do when the KK two seats to your left decides to to make you hate yourself?

    Let him have the blinds.
