HOW WOULD YOU PLAY IT?

HELLO! I WAS PLAYING AT A LOCAL CASINO AND I CAME ACROSS WITH A VERY INTERESTING SCENARIO. I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IT WITH YOU AND LEARN HOW WOULD YOU PLAY IT. SO HERE IT IS.---FINAL TABLE EVERYONE WILL WALK AWAY WITH PROFIT. THE BLINDS ARE 2 AND 1 GREEN CHIPS (NOTE GREEN CHIP EQUALS 100K). I AM UNDER THE GUN WITH JQ OFF SUIT. I HAVE 8 GREEN CHIPS LEFT. THE PLAYERS IN THE BLINDS ARE BOTH COVER ME BY 2 TO 1. I DECIDED TO PUSH IT AND GOT CALLED BY PLAYER IN SIT 8 WITH POCKET 10S. THE POCKET PAIR HELD UP AND I BUSTED OUT AT 10TH PLACE. SOMEONE ARGUE WITH ME THAT I COULD HAD FOLD MY HAND, AND WAIT FOR A BETTER HAND. I SAID, I AM THE NEXT BIG BLIND AND SO IF LETS SAY I END UP FOLDING MY BLINDS I WILL HAVE 5 CHIPS LEFT WHICH IS A VERY WEAK TO MAKE AN ALL IN MOVE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? HOW WOULD YOU PLAY IT? WILL YOU FOLD JQ OFF SUIT UNDER THE GUN WITH 8 CHIPS LEFT AND THE BLINDS ARE 2 AND 1? OR WILL YOU PUSH IT?

I would shove here 95% of the time. You only have 4x the BB and you are in the blinds the next hand. You might still have fold equity by shoving now, and your hand isn't in that bad of shape against a reasonable calling range.

It would also help if you could tell us what stack sizes/position for each player, as well as the payout structure. I'm pretty sure this would be a +chip EV push, but would have to do ICM calculations based on payouts to see if it's +$EV.

The real question is, do you want to make the final table, and get into the payoff. Fold equity is overrated in my opinion. The primary goal is to stay in the game. I've watched myself and others go down to not even making the blinds. But, by going toward the felt, they gave themselves a chance to get it in with the best hand.
Hang in and hope 2 aggressives bump each other off

No offence but letting yourself blind down to 1-2 BB in most cases is terrible, except maybe on the bubble of a satellite. QJ is HUGE when you have 4BB and the blinds are going to hit you next hand. I'm sorry but this is 100% autopush unless there's some other stacks with less chips than you.

you should have pushed when around 10 x bb with any a or k but with what you had left it is 100% push no questions asked
