UTG (t2480)
Button (t2760)
SB (t2495)
Hero (t1265)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A, T.
1 fold, Button raises to t200, 1 fold, Hero ???

Trivial push?

Instapush straight into his kings. It'll make him feel like such a pro for 'inducing' a shove.

If he had been active on the button, I say you can push. But if he is playing pretty tight it is probably a fold. I like the push though

I at least call and in all likelihood push unless I have a hard read that he's really tight.

I have no reason to believe he's particularly tight.

Sounds like pushing was the right play. I've started to worry that my instincts have been off lately so I wanted to double-check this one.

If you do anything other than push here, it's wrong. Sorry no gray area this time.

4-handed and the shortie?

Push like a pregnant lady squeezing out triplets

Fact, alot of the time these weak min raises in the low stakes are just villain's desperate for action. Especially if they are generally passive.

Fold or shove, there is no call. One thing I will say is that you gain a alot more equity if you double up through one of the two shorter stacks.
