    Can you explain why not wait please? At least not until next hand, he's not even in the blinds? Sure I'm mustplaying this wrong but I wouldn't push this, someone else may go out this hand and then he's ITM or at least has a chance at a better hand than 94o next hand

    i dont mind it if the blinds will respect it. i also might wait 1 more hand in UTG, where you might get atleast a >50% hand.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    ill push crap if it has to be done. i will push ATC here. if you get ITM your way then you will still have a tiny stack.

    Push is +EV. it helps if blinds are a little afriad but meh.

    I know where you're coming from and i'm sure its +EV but as a one off decisoin i'd rather wait for a potentially better shot at getting ITM then pushing ATC as needed

    no time to wait, you are not able to sail ITM with 3.5xBB. id rather bust in 4th for a good chance to win taking a +EV shot than really struggle when ITM.

    its not a decision made in a vacuum as my paragraph above explains.

    say you fold, you must push the next hand or be crippled by the blinds. again a push of ATC is +EV but have one more player to go thru.

    I like the push, the big stack has conveniently folded and the other 2 stacks are almost the same size as yours so on the bubble you'd expect them to need a real hand to call. Pickup up the blinds and antes would be a great result as it's 50% of your stack; getting called and winning would also be great as you are ITM with a shot at first. I think you need to takes risks at times like this.
    Of course sometimes you'll lose but over time you should come out ahead.
    Must get more aggressive - Tonight we dine in $25NL! rah rah rah! etc
