    MeatPiston was tight, and CashFlow was semi-loose.

    Do you push this?

    If you feel like you can take it down with a 3x bet, bet 3x. No need to bet it all when CashFlow will probably call you with a marginal hand and have overs against you. See what he does on the flop, see if the cards benefit you, etc...

    They both have you covered, and the loose opp also happens to be the big stack and the big blind... tricky sitch. If he has anything, he's probably calling. Any idea what your image to them is? Loose or tight? Won some hands recently with no showdown?

    With no other info, I think I push, but not sure I like it...

    Small raise is horrible here, unless blinds are both tight. Fold is better. Push is best, I think with M=5.

    Why?
    1) You are doomed if they have a higher PP anyway
    2) You would much rather steal the blinds than take a near certain coin-flip
    3) You would much rather play HU than 3-way

    Why not?
    1) You have position... but the flop is going to be neigh-impossible to play with 44 unless you hit your set.


    If you are SURE your push is going to be called by any two... I think you could fold here but I would gamb00l.

    My image was definitely tight, but my experience is that in the $11's, such an image gets no respect.

    I like a push here. You will often take the blinds, and when you don't you will often be a slight favorite in a coin flip. You need chips soon so why not here.

    Yes, bigger pairs will call you, but if that happens it was tough to get away from in the first place. You're also called by 3-3 ace-4 ace3 ace2 and sometimes 2-2 which are obviously very good situations.

    Push.

    I agree with Zen here.
