blinds 4k 8k with 30 left in the party super I recieved a 3 outer and Im crippled pretty much. People are still playing surprisingly loose for this stage of the tourney, Im obv going for the win, not looking to just FT or whatever. Anyway I have 50k total but Im in the bb, so 42k... blinds go up to 6k/12k in about 2 or 3 minutes... I have 7s2s folds to the CO with about 130k and he minraises to 16k...BB calls with about 200 behind, SB calls with a like 150k stack or so....pot is 56k I have 42k behind If I shove and get 1 caller which I almost certainly will I'll have around 140k in chips if I win. If I fold I'll have about 38k after the sb hits me and if I cant double in 2 minutes I'll have like 3 bb's....if I triple right now I'm back in shape to win it...UGh, I dont know, Im not a math guy at allll and I suck at it and Im basically a feel type. gambling maniac...and I want all the friggin chips, but this is such an ugly spot... I dont know wether to take this ****.ty gamble which will more often than not result in a inevitable bust out. Or fold, and then try and double up in about 3 hands, and then still be short.The only other alternative that breaks all shortstack rules would be to call hope to at least flop a pair. a gutshot, a fulsh draw etc, and just jam...and if not just check fold knowing u cant win, and go in next few hands..but that probably wont work...at least u might have a tiiiiiiiiiiiiiny little bit of FE shoving.what do u think shove and pray for to get called by QJ or AQ or whatever...or fold and try to double up twice to get to 140k?

7s2s no, but anything playable yes. You really should fold the junk hands here. I like pushing with 67s or better, or K5+, etc.

Your stack is still big enough after you pay your next small blind to make so-so hands think about calling a push from you.Wait for first in vigorish. If Party has a time bank stall as much as you can so the blinds are higher for as many of your free hands as possible. Youre not making it all the way around at this level, so you want to pick up the larger blinds with your push, not the current ones.
