75/150 No-Limit Hold'em, Ante 15 (8 Players)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: PokerStrategy.com Elephant 0.84.1316.2124 by www.pokerstrategy.com

Preflop: Hero is SB with J :club:, 8 :diamond:
6 fold,
Hero raises 665 to 815 with 740 (All In), BB calls

Flop: (1750) Q :diamond:, 6 :spade:, 4 :spade: (2 Players)

Turn: (1750) 9 :club: (2 Players)

River: (1750) Q :club: (2 Players)

Final Pot: 1750

Results follow (Highlight to see):
Hero shows a pair of queens (Jc, 8d) --> (Qd, Qc, 9c, Jc, 8d)
BB shows a pair of queens (Ac, 7h) --> (Qd, Qc, 9c, Ac, 7h)

BB wins 1750 with a pair of queens (Ac, 7h) --> (Qd, Qc, 9c, Ac, 7h)

I'm the shortest stack at the table but still I hoped to have fold equity, because the cheap leader is a regular player. Is the push correct?

I'm going with yes definitely correct.

there's no reason for the BB to call wide here cos he's got a big stack, plus you need the chips. Surely if he's a reg A7 is at the bottom of his range.

It would be good if you put the other players stacks in with the hand history.

You said the BB is a regular, so i also push this hand here.

bradomurder already mentioned the reasons for pushing this hand.


would have pushed 8J against anyone here.
could have folded them only in the bubble - depends on the other players' stacks, and the BB's style of play.

You have to push here, it is not like your situation will get any better. I guess you could fold 32o against some maniac who only defends his own blind but that pretty much it.
