Hi everyone,

here I have A8o and we are on the bubble. I was not sure whether to push this hand or not. On the one hand the blinds are already pretty high and I would be chipleader if I win this pot. On the other hand I do not want to bust before the smallstack and I also do not want to double him up. What's your line here?

PokerStars - 300/600 Ante 50 NL - Holdem - 4 players

Shove. BB seems to be reasonably TAG and you need to steal with your stack. You probably want a call. Unless the deck's set you up but you can't get away from this. You very likely have the best hand here and if not, that's poker :-).

I have checked the Nash ranges and this is a push, but this hand is tricky. The reason is that I doubt the players in a 50c SNG will call tight enough, but with these small stacks I would take the risk here.
