Hey all, my first hand posting. Please excuse my newbieness.
The table was really tight with blinds increasing every 5 minutes (next level to occur during the hand following this one). Given my chip position as well has table position, was this push wrong? Sure, the results say that I got my money in at the right time, but I'm not sure if it wouldn't have been better to wait for others to knock each other out. Also, I bust out at 4th or 5th more often than not, so any general advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
