I was going to post this else where on the forum but decided to check my play in here first.

UTG is loose and acting desperate. Either he's had 2 orbits of very strong hands or steal attemps have been made from every position. His min-raise didn't really bother me. If I run into QQ+ so be it.

MP2 is just a bad player who's been lucky through out the tournament. He'd been calling all-ins with low connectors, mid-pairs etc and raising wih trash hands. Doubled up early on when he went all-in with J3o, ran into AKs and flopped a 3. I classed his re-raise as a re-steal.

NL Hold'em Tournament - t100/t200 Blinds - 8 players

UTG: t2000
UTG+1: t2680
MP1: t8805
MP2: t5215
CO: t7100
Hero (BTN): t4260
SB: t6520
BB: t2125

Pre Flop: Hero is BTN with JHeart JClub
UTG raises to t400, 2 folds, MP2 raises to t2000, 1 fold, Hero ??

Am I right to push here?

Are you kidding? This is 100% a fold except against the wildest players.
