was this a bad push

As above was this a bad push short staked ?? should you only push after flop?? or with high pairs ??

no roo, it was the only thing for you to do m8 with that short stack, i called because i knew you would push with half a hand, you were rivered again for about the 4th time if i remember. i went shortly after you mate...
btw, is my fave hand, espesially suited...

[roo27]

yes jimmy it wasnt a bad play by you thats what im asking when the blinds are low is it better to waght till you have pokets or do you need to try to steel the blinds when you have better hands ??

[stjimmy]

yes, i know what youre saying, but i recon 19/20 pro players would have pushed in youre position. especially when every1 else has folded...

[BlackLava]

I would say that was the right move, you have 234 left after paying the small blind (=4,5 bb), you can only call or go all-in...
It's an Outlaws Tournament which is a tight enough to talk about fold equity & you have enough chips to still make Stjimmy and starrystars both fold (they aren't awfully short stacked and you're facing a limp and a big blind only) : I would have pushed there too for sure

What's interesting would be to know why StJimmy called with QT suited there : I'm sure that's related with Roo's loose image at the table hehe, the tighter you look the less drawings like that you will face

EDIT : ok seems Jimmy has replied and confirmed while I was typing

[BlackLava]

no, don't worry that's not loose it's just crazy

[TIDDLYW1NK]

I'M PUSHIN' THERE ROO, EVERY TIME

[stevo_58]

I would have gone all in with it. I probably would also have called if I was in Jimmys situation. Good play by both of you I reckon.

[jockney]

I would have done the same, given your position and stack size verses the other players at the table , and probably also with AJ or A10 to be honest.

[pam66]

yep roo i would of made the same push as you, but i would of also made the same call if i was jimmy,

Nothing wrong with either player here. Both good decisions.The river got ya roo.
