    99 percent of people here are pushing. in opening postion this is not a strong hand though. problem is your chip stack sucks ass so you really have to push. i would probably call though and wait for some other numbskull to raise. i would hope for a caller behind me then a all in for protection so you can maximize your return. you are about to be in blinds so if all fold when you raise you win your blinds.

    5 handed with less than 5BB`s A-10 suited is about the best hand you could hope for and most likely is the strongest. If you win uncontested you have just increased your stack by 30%, if you are called, well it will most likely be a coin-flip.

    No other option other than open-pushing.

    Barring some very atypical factors that aren't worth going into this is a push.

    Just my opinion...

    you're short... with A10, less than 5bb, its a simple push. Its not 4 players so not the bubble so you won't get called as much by say somebody with 2k having KJ or maybe even KQ. Opening postion... means you'll get screwed more next round chances are with a lesser hand so pushing is correct. I know that you will say that i did but got called by AQ or something but dude... any point at any given time anyone can hold pocket aces or kings and if something like that happened please refer to the variance section of poker.
    Have a nice evening

    push any ace or king...If the blinds get to you that will eliminate all fe(fold equity) and you will just be praying for a hand
