    Default Push or Fold?

    Stars 180 22+2 12 left in Tourney. PokerEra was catching everything. Anybody know this guy? He kept telling people to go join his team at his site.

    I was getting low, but I think that I needed to fold and wait for a better spot. What do you think?

    Due to the fact that you're mad short stacked, I'd push. IU hate doing this though because you are in a sense hoping for a coinflip.

    i would rather push any two to open next hand than push here. huge blinds, call and min raise = need better than 66

    It's real close. 88 is probably a push.

    I fold. You don't mind a coinflip when you're called open-pushing 66, but don't throw your chips around with such a weak hand into aggression. When you say he was catching everything, does that mean he's min-raising behind a limper with any two? What range was the limper playing? Unless both of those questions get the perfect answer, I definitely look for a better spot. Even if they do I think it's marginal.

    I would fold immediately unless I'd already seen him make this move more than once, with junk.
