Completely depends on reads, but in general, no, I don't like this push...MrJoppe is forced to call if he has any clue what he's doing. Given that, I want at least an average hand to make this play (Q8+; JT+; 22+).

well i totally expect no FE vs BB but its easy chips mostly though 94 aint top 50%.

How is it easy chips? You're putting money in when your behind with no FE - that sounds like a losing situation. Further, you stand to double up the shorty, making him more of a threat. And finally, as you stated, you're destroying your image, making future steals very difficult.

as a thought what chip stack would you give shorty before you would push this hand? 800-1000 total, 600 might not have much FE.

i agree that losing image here is horrible since future pushes are tougher. fish will remember my holding here.

i think this is a leak of mine, where BB has 4-5xBB while i have 10xBB in these situations.

Generally, I want to have some kind of a hand when stealing from anyone with less than 5BB.

i dont like this push. with no FE and a below avg hand, i let this one go. if villain had 8-900, i might push here.

leak plugged!!

thanks bode and jeff.
