16 remain of 1600. No real reads at table as this was not my hand, but a hand I found on another forum that has generated a significant amount of discussion.

Your move: Fold or Push?

5bb I push any two tbh.

[Beavis68]

why would you push any two under the gun?

I would tend to fold here with the info given and the stack sizes at the table.

I'd push K3 because I think I'm ActionJeff.

But, yeah, I'd shove just about any 2 here. Pairs, any Ace, any King, Q9+, Qxs, J9+, Jxs T9/T8-45/46, T7s-74s. The pot's equal to about 33% of my stack. You're not called much and when you are it's usually a 50/50 or 3:2 against one of the blinds.

22 is good, on average you lose chips provided you always get called. With some folding equity, it should be +/- 0 chips, which is a great result at this point.

EDIT: I forgot the pot provides a substantial extra overlay; this prolly makes it even +chipEV.
