Well, I don't know what your reads are on the remaining people and I don't know your position - but I'd probably push. With only 3 BB's left (and there are antes now, aren't there?), you're not often going to find a better spot.

No ante's on this site,I dumped them, figured it would be better to at least fold my way into a little cash rather than get popped on the bubble again.Right move or should I gambool?>edit: didn't have many reads since I'd just been moved from another table, This is more of a question on folding equity I think, if I pushed would it be enough to push the big blind off?

If you're looking long-term profit you push. A $5 MTT is probobly within your b/r and the move that will make you the most money in the long-run is to push that, what position were you in anyways?

Well, if you're just looking to make the money, that may have been the best move. I completely disagree with it, but whatever. If you're just looking to sneak into the money, I assume you're willing to be blinded off in that attempt? It's not foolproof, but that may work.You have roughly 3.5xBB. You may get called by A-x or K-10 or something like that, but that's a chance I think you have to take. If the guy you're betting into has a deep stack, he may try to take you out. But if he's struggling too, he's probably not going to call.

Push. Every time. You're likely to get called by a hand like Ax in the BB. And that would be f ucking awesome. You need chips. Push. Ice

In the long run, pushing with 99 is going to make the most money. I'm sick of this bubbling crap. If you're playing a tourney to get your money back, you shouldnt be playing.
The path
of the righteous man is beset on
all sides by the inequities of the
selfish and the tyranny of evil
men. Blessed is he who, in the
name of charity and good will,
shepherds the weak through the
valley of darkness, for he is truly
his brother's keeper and the finder
of lost children.
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those
who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers.
And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.
