Hi all,
Nice hand well played. We're still a bunch of places from the money and we need the chippies (yes I've seen BU's call).
Hi Chenny,
Just so I understand the rationale, does our push depend on whether we think BU will call it or not?
If we think he will, I'm having trouble understanding why we risk all our chips in a 4 way pot?
If BU's not calling, I think I understand why we push - because we are ahead of CO and SB's ranges and so it's a good opportunity for us to greatly increase our chances of getting ITM (which are slim currently)?
Cheers,

The push is good regardless of whether BU will call. So far from the money BU's larger stack doesn't matter so much. Yes it is 4-way but I feel we're ahead against everyone's ranges with Arag suited.
If we fold our chances of getting ITM are extremely small given our short stack and the massive blinds.
