    Default 60 turbo, interesting bubble situation

    What range do I need to push here?

    Full Tilt Poker
    No Limit Holdem Tournament
    Blinds: t250/t500
    4 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    UTG: t7810
    Button: t750
    SB: t1060
    Hero: t3880

    Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is BB with K A
    UTG raises to t1750, Button calls all-in t750, SB folds, Hero ??

    edit: added stack sizes

    Stack sizes are missing?

    i think that it could be a fold given 2 very short stacks.

    prob just a little -EV.

    Any possible ranges!! though shorty has a wide range but given he can still go another hand before blinds hit id say he has a half decent hand so can you bet biggie.

    I push the ak suited here
    But nothing lower than that

    High pairs (possibly not jacks) obviously I'm pushing and aks

    I'm fairly tight when big stack UTG is raising it up, he has to have a hand and hopefully in this case its something like aq, and a perfect double up.

    Biggie should push any two, but he probably won't. Let's assume 70%. Button has something 30%ish I guess. He doesn't have any FE left so he should pick any hand that's probably better than the next 2 he'll get.

    Also there's a small chance biggie folds to my push.

    Intuitively I think AKs is marginally +EV and AKo isn't, but I'd like to see some numbers.

    i push AKs here. I think you have a fair amount of FE with big stack, and you are way ahead of shorties range.
    eeevees are not monies yet...they are like baby monies.

    id like to see a SNGPT check on this, but i disagree big stack is raising 70% since then he would know he should push any 2.

    we have FE here but biggie has odds to call it.

    when you say biggie should push any two do you mean in this hand specifically or because he is big stck generallly?

    ATC since johnny aint gonna call without a very strong hand since shorties are so low. shorties will usually fold just to stay alive longer than the other.
