Hi All

Right looking for some advice for some of the tournament experts here. It's regarding a hand I was talking to somebody in work about today - a hand they played online.

You are on the button in $3 Tournament on Pokerstars you are already in the lower part of the money you have an M of between 5 and 6 with blinds and antes. You are on the button and get dealt A8os. It folds to you. The big blind and the small blind are very loose players and have both been seen to call big bets with small suited connectors and random cards like 10-6. They are both very big stacks after winning some chips this way.

What would the play be here?

Put all your chips over the line.

In this particular situation reads on the blinds are irrelevant, it doesn't matter how tight or loose the blinds calls we will still show a profit in this spot long term. An unexploitable shove.

Open jam with 1 finger in the air.

In short, you can't fold, you can't raise fold, so open jam.

limp on the button - you can't get put out of a tourny unless you put all your chips in.

Thanks all. Might have sounded like a silly question but somebody who is not a bad player was trying to convince me you could find a better spot to get them in than this. Just wanted to check I was not being silly and missing something obvious - although I can't think what !!!!
