    Default should i push the shortstack?

    Edit: M was 5.4, I can't count.

    BB (t1220)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with Q, 4.

    Should have folded or pushed. Q high is better than average so I push. Folding is Ok though.

    Completing is worst choice.

    yeah don't know why i did that tbh. i was thinking as everyone else was folding that "if they all fold i'll push him" then completed, should've gone with the instincts.

    I'd push. You don't flop well and he's already told you he's weak by not raising or pushing. He's told you that his hand isn't worth your stack and he hopes yours is the same. If he's trapping, so be it. He's folding so much that it doesn't really matter.

    Hero's in SB I raise or fold depending on my table image and how loose the other guy is.
    Could god microwave a burrito so hot, that he himself could not eat it?

    If you have been stealing a lot I think you should fold in this spot and if you haven't I think it's a great spot to push. If I was BB in this hand I would push almost every time.

    No idea, it just...happened (played really bad yesterday, hence the tilting post). Was planning on pushing then pussied out and completed (knowing he's probably raising as well, stupid).

    Thing is my M is only about 10 here so part of me thinks it's a risk not worth taking to push with that hand and maybe should've folded.

    Ok i'm totally agreeing that completing was bad, very bad. ive been thinking back to HOHII when he talks about being HU. In that spot he says it's never right to fold the sb unless you're sure the bb will raise. Since i know my winning odds are better than 3:1 (almost certainly) i should play it, right? Does this theory count here as in HU the button is the sb and so has position later on?

    Further, does the fact that his stack is very low mean i HAVE to push here given that the chance of him raising is high (he ain't letting me see a flop)?
