Hand Analysis 44 --- 4 handed

[PktAcesSoWht]

10SNG 4 handed. was this the right play or too aggressive?
I had not been catching any cards for the whole match and this was the only pair I had. I had AQs earlier which I went all in with and it was folded to me. In retrospect, I suppose I could have waited to see what the short stack did, but he was very aggressive stealing my blinds almost every round with huge bets or the big stack would bet some huge amount to where I would have to go all-in to defend my blind.

I'm not so sure.

I think if you're going to make a stand with 44 here, make the push. That's just the 10BB rule -- but it seems especially important here, since you want to discourage (if possible, which I think it isn't) callers with weaker all-in type hands like ATo or 55 from calling.

I can also see a fold here, but I think a push isn't bad. Push or fold.

He only held back 25.

Good push I think. Small stack is not nearly small enough to try and coast.

just noticed the difference there of the 25 chips, but that is some kind of fluke I think because I was all in.

Thanks for the comments.
