    Default 55 with one overcard - bad move?

    Pretty early on. CO is running 55/9 with AF=9 over 22 hands. I'm shoving over hoping he's c-betting here. Is this a bad idea? If so, would it be a reasonable idea if there weren't 2 players behind me?

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, 3.3 Tournament, 40/80 Blinds (8 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    MP1 (t2455)
    MP2 (t1325)
    CO (t3165)
    Hero (Button) (t1655)
    SB (t5970)
    BB (t2925)
    UTG (t6595)
    UTG+1 (t9135)

    Hero's M: 13.79

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 5, 5
    UTG calls t80, 2 folds, MP2 calls t80, CO bets t160, Hero calls t160, 2 folds, UTG calls t80, MP2 calls t80

    Flop: (t760) 2, 3, 9 (4 players)
    UTG checks, MP2 checks, CO bets t320, Hero raises to t1495 (All-In)

    pretty sure calling preflop here is pretty bad. fold or push preflop with your stacksize. i don't think pushing is terrible with all the dead money and decent FE, but when he min bets with two limpers it looks like he's trying to build a pot with a big hand so fold might be better. with him only raising 9% i lean towards folding.

    Yeah... you're right pf was bad. That's a leak I struggle with. With CO's pfr at 9% I might be better off folding. Flatting 1/10 my stack is bleh.

    Fold pre. Your only getting 10/1 implied odds and there's lots of people who could shove and force you to fold. I would want at the minimum 15x the raise and 20x+ if I think the raiser is opening a wide range.

    Your flop shove has to get folds very very often since you only have 2 outs when called. I don't think you get folds often enough. 55/9's LOVE limping, so when you see one minraise over limpers you should give him a really tight range.
