Good Push

[Cavalry21]

Still new to MTTs, Seems a trend to be doing OK in the middle and then losing a push.

$5+1 MTT, just after 1st break, sitting in about 150/550 with top 135 getting paid. If I win I'm in the top 10. still with three people in the pot is this the correct play?

I would say, just push dont raise.

first put Oompahman on your list of worlds worst players, what an awful call - the first one is pretty iffy, the second call is just terrible.

You can't put him on a better hand than QQ other wise he'd just move in, so your play is correct.
